Paul Robert Smith

    Questo autore evoca magistralmente l'atmosfera nostalgica dell'infanzia, sostenendo il valore della privacy, del tempo non strutturato e della libertà per i bambini. Le sue opere mettono a confronto le vite iper-organizzate dei giovani di oggi con i ricordi del suo passato più tranquillo, sottolineando le gioie della noia e il potere dell'esplorazione autonoma. L'eredità duratura dell'autore sta nel ricordarci l'importanza del tempo senza impegni e nell'apprezzare i piaceri semplici della vita, come osservare l'erba crescere.
