I'm also a Thompson fan. At one point or another I thought I had all
his books (I tend to loan them out), and realize the one book of his
I've never read was Child of Rage.
******************************
Jim Thompson is my inspiration. Every one of his books is thought provoking and well-crafted. A couple of weeks ago I read THE CRIMINAL. It has a very unusual structure. It's told from the point of view of several different people involved around the rape and murder of a young girl. We know from the beginning who the perpetrator is, but the irony of the title is left to the last page. I haven't been able to watch Nancy Grace in the same way since I read it. Jim Thompson was a genius.
