As a teacher for nearly 20 years, I'm always on the lookout for a good book, one that I can soak up and share with my students. When I find a good one, particularly nonfiction, I'm often amazed and ask myself, "Why didn't I know this?"
My family and I have lived overseas for much of my career, and I know that there are stories like these waiting to be discovered and told all around us. Jim Thompson's life is exactly this kind of story. And who knows? I might just be the one to tell it this time.
