Soothing Suffering & Ferocity

I was so thrilled to find that this ‘Best of…’ compilation of Thom Jones exists. I had been, through the years, eagerly anticipating a new release since Sonny Liston, only to learn that Jones had passed in 2016. Re-reading some of these stories and reading some for the first time, is a blessing. Something about the deeply realistic suffering of Jones’ characters while they still push through their daily grinds with requisite attitudes of ferocity - soothes my soul.
