William Sansom

William Sansom masterfully captures a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere, often compared to Kafka. His prose, filled with detailed, almost hallucinatory descriptions, draws the reader into the atmosphere of wartime London and into peculiar situations. While his characters sometimes feel overshadowed by his evocative style, his ability to create tension and explore the human psyche under extreme circumstances is undeniable. His "modern fables" remain fresh and unsettlingly current.
