Audrey Thomas McCluskey

    Audrey Thomas is celebrated for her keen insight into the intricacies of women's lives, often striving to illuminate the gap between men and women and to foster a connection between women and their bodies. Her distinctive style is marked by a playful engagement with language, employing puns, etymologies, and double meanings to underscore the ironies and ambiguities inherent in words. This meticulous attention to language reveals the very act of writing and the complexities of human communication. Thomas's narratives are further enriched by a wealth of literary allusions, drawing from sources ranging from Shakespeare to the Bible.
