Earl Thompson was een vooraanstaand Amerikaans schrijver van naturalistisch proza. Zijn werk, dat de diepe aspecten van de menselijke natuur verkende, kreeg erkenning met een nominatie voor de National Book Award. Thompson's stijl werd gekenmerkt door rauwe eerlijkheid en een indringend inzicht in de psyche van zijn personages. Zijn voortijdige dood betekende een aanzienlijk verlies voor de Amerikaanse literatuur, maar zijn drie gepubliceerde romans blijven een krachtig nalatenschap.
