This is a tale of a problematic girlfriend and a much greater quandary: which fork in the career path beckons the young hero? A story of horrible bosses in both directions, and a summer at a mental hospital hoping-amid violence and sloth-to make a difference.

Industry Reviews

"Peter Thompson's work is always assured and can take a reader from the profane to the sublime. It's provocative and poetic, and funny and sometimes discomfiting. In his man Harrison Rhodes, Thompson explores ego, uncertainty and hope in someone who, like the rest of us, struggles with all of those." --Ted Delaney, author of Broken Irish

"Practical vs. Reckless. Confused vs. Focused. Conformist vs. Renegade. In Winter Light, Peter Thompson's protagonist, Rhodes, embodies these various opposing and conflicted psyches that have defined the idea of yearning within the modern American novel. And through them, Rhodes certainly takes his place among that cast of unsettled, well-meaning yet troubled characters of the literary landscape--standing alone in the fields, parting the weeds, and trying to spot their dream." --Adam Braver, author of November 22,1963
Praise for Winter Light:

"An action-packed romp as the Latin teacher Rhodes maneuvers the absurd banalities and long winter of a New England prep school. Thompson's writing is fresh and irreverent, keenly intelligent with flashes of light and music. --Sonja Livingston, author of Ghostbread
