Discussion: Thom Jones A writer who seems to have found a new reason for writing stories, and has given me a new reason to read them. >>By joe bevan Hi, does anyone know anything about Thom Jones' past. I as doing a presentation on him for a college course and I am having some difficulty finding biographical information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. He is an excellent writter and I would love to be able to do do his life justice by putting on a great presentation. Thank you >>By nick place God! me too for my enex class ... can't find anything though! >>By sarah He did an excellent interview for Esquire in, I think, 1999. You'd find it if you look. >>By M Addison As a lover of boxing and reading , I seem to have found what I am looking for in an author. Great books!! I hope Thom is writing more stuff. Respect to Thom Jones !! >>By Mark Cardle I found a good article at http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/vol18/issue29/books.inperson.html. I am doing a presentation on his short story "I want to live" Does anyone have any info on him regarding this particular story? kbowling@mvusd.k12.ca.us >>By Kim hello - i'm looking for a book by Thom Jones titled: "Way Down Deep", published 09/2000 none of the 'regular' internet sites have it and i can't find it any local bookstores... if someone here knows where i could get my hands on it, please send me an email at jurisgalang@hotmail.com >>By June i know people who knew thom when he was younger and when he was boxing. before he became a janitor he was an exotic dancer. a lot of people don't know that about him. >>By coldsnapper So does all of this mean he was never a doctor? Never in Africa? In his acknowledgements he mentions getting great info and stories from relatives so perhaps that was at least the genesis of this. There´re also a disproportionate number of diabetics in his stories. Any word on when a new collection might be forthcoming? Perhaps a novel? >>By www.iramarlowe.com An exotic dancer!?!? No way really? I`m a former marine, a boxer and now a medical student so you can imagine how happy I was when a friend sent me "The Pugilist..." I even had a go at writing some shortt stories which made me realize just how talented Jones is. Lovers of Thom Jones might want to check out `Jarhead- a Marines Chronicle of the Gulf War` by Anthony Swofford. Swofford also attented the Iowa writers workshop and has a similar style to his prose. I loved his no BS account of what life on operations is really like. Any one wanna chat let me know. >>By docjay Like most readers I was introduced to Thom Jones thru The Pugilist....Since then I've read almost everything he's written, Is he working on a novel that will soon be published? >>By kesh72
