Talk:Jim Thompson (writer)

message: This is an excellent article about a fascinating man. Its only real flaw is that it's not referenced and there are no inline citations. With some polishing and referencing this would easily be a Good Article. Jeffpw 08:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Editing the paragraph on Savage Night to reflect the information actually given in the book. There are no concrete references to the "writer" as a "Bible salesman" or the fact that he cuts up Bibles to put together books. It is clear, however, that he is a pulp fiction writer, much akin to Thompson himself, whose work is sold alongside pornography. Also removing the phrase "cunt farm" as it is NOT a quote from the book (the book is almost completely void of profanity), though it IS referred to as a "farm." Liontamarin 20:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Am I crazy or does this Jim Thompson not appear on the disambiguation page for Jim/James Thompson?  I'd fix it myself but I don't really know how...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.155.36 (talk) 13:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says that Thompson had 2 or 3 children and sources differ. In Here and On Earth, it seems very clear that he an eldest daughter, a youngest son and a middle daughter. Could this issue be discussed more? It seems like some or all of his children could still be alive and therefore this issue could be definitively settled, including names of offspring.--Jrm2007 (talk) 04:56, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Children 

message: Someone more qualified than myself and more familiar with the system should verify to be sure, but the link to 'The Criminal' in the list of Thompson's novels is a link to an article about a British film. The article on the film says nothing about whether or not it is based on a Thompson novel and even if it were there is certainly no reason for a link to the movie in the list of novels.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.5.144.50 (talk) 23:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
