Geraldine Bonner

    Geraldine Bonner fu un'autrice americana le cui opere erano spesso ambientate nel contesto dei campi minerari della California, dove si trasferì da bambina. I suoi racconti, pubblicati su importanti periodici dell'epoca, esploravano le vite e i personaggi associati a questo paesaggio aspro. Bonner portò una prospettiva unica nella sua prosa, attingendo alle proprie esperienze e osservazioni. Il suo stile catturava la crudezza e la realtà della vita nel West americano.
