Autorenporträt

David Kranes is the author of eight novels and three volumes of short stories, including Abracadabra (which received a starred review in Publishers Weekly), Keno Runner: A Dark Romance, and The Legend's Daughter . He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a professor emeritus of English at the University of Utah. Kranes writes about magicians, gamblers, hitmen, painters, and casino workers. His characters are frequently displaced seekers with volatile emotions--but always human. He writes about the West. And his characters struggle and love in its surreal landscapes of Las Vegas casinos, Utah deserts, and Montana towns. He exposes the magic in the mundane, the surreal in the simple, and the bizarre in the banal. His work superbly balances the fantastical with the raw.
