Dieser kanadische Autor erforscht Themen der Kindheit im kanadischen Westen und die Schrecken des Militärdienstes durch sein außergewöhnliches journalistisches und fiktionales Talent. Seine Prosa, geprägt vom Leben in Kleinstädten und seinen Erfahrungen als Kriegsberichterstatter, bietet einen scharfen Einblick in die menschliche Verfassung. Durch sein Schreiben versucht Allen, das Wesen der kanadischen Identität und die Herausforderungen einzufangen, denen sich Einzelpersonen und die Nation gleichermaßen stellen. Sein Werk zeugt von der Kraft des Geschichtenerzählens, persönliche Erinnerungen und historische Ereignisse lebendig werden zu lassen.
