Jean Thompson is the author of the short story collections Throw Like a Girl and Who Do You Love, a National Book Award finalist, as well as two recent novels, City Boy and Wide Blue Yonder.


"One of the best contemporary short-story writers in peak form."
-- Kirkus Review on Throw Like a Girl
(starred review)


"If there are 'Jean Thompson characters,' they're us, and never have we been so articulate and worthy of compassion. These stories confirm that no one is beneath her interest, or beyond her sure and seemingly limitless reach."
-- David Sedaris


"Her stories linger and seep into your dreams."
-- Bernard Cooper, author of
The Bill from My Father
