Buchanan Col Libri
Uno scrittore irlandese che trovò conforto nella creazione di opere fantastiche fin da giovane, la vita di Col Buchanan è stata caratterizzata da una deliberata deviazione dall'ordinario. Le sue esperienze lo hanno portato attraverso percorsi vari e spesso non convenzionali, da ritiri in montagna a periodi di senzatetto e persino brevi incontri con la legge, ognuno dei quali informa la sua prospettiva unica. Sebbene racconti queste avventure in parte per aggiungere colore alla sua narrazione, esse modellano innegabilmente la voce distintiva che si trova nella sua scrittura. Ora, trovando pace in momenti più semplici, apprezza le tranquille riunioni con gli amici.
