Thompson, Jim

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Thompson, Jim (1906–1977)

US writer. A prolific author, he was critically neglected until after his death, when he acquired a cult status for his books' powerful and original use of pulp, ‘hard-boiled’ genres, which he imbued with a horrific, pathological violence. His novels include The Killer Inside Me 1952 and The Grifters 1963 (filmed 1990).
