Autorenporträt
John Thorndike grew up in New England, graduated from Harvard, took an MA from Columbia, then lit out for Latin America. He spent two years in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and two more, with his wife and child, on a backcountry farm in Chile. Eventually he settled with his son in Athens, Ohio, where for ten years his day job was farming. Then it was construction. His first two books were novels, Anna Delaney's Child and The Potato Baron, followed by a memoir, Another Way Home, about his wife's schizophrenia and his life as a single father. A second memoir, The Last of His Mind, describes his father's year-long descent into Alzheimer's, and was a Washington Post Best Book of 2009. The next novel told the story of a young American photographer and a comandante from the Cuban Revolution, Camilo Cienfuegos. A Hundred Fires in Cuba was given a Best Indies Fiction Award by Kirkus Reviews. The World Against Her Skin is Thorndike's most recent work. There may be a sequel.
