Florian Zeller è un romanziere e drammaturgo francese la cui opera si addentra nelle complessità della psicologia umana. Crea magistralmente narrazioni che esplorano le intricate dinamiche delle relazioni e le situazioni quotidiane, trasformandole in esperienze avvincenti e spesso inquietanti per il lettore. La scrittura di Zeller è caratterizzata da tecniche di costruzione della tensione e dalla sua capacità di rivelare le motivazioni nascoste dei suoi personaggi. Il suo stile distintivo, segnato dall'economia e da una profonda risonanza emotiva, lo afferma come una voce significativa nella letteratura contemporanea.
