Lawrence Thornton
Lawrence Thornton (born 1937) is an American novelist and critic living in Claremont, California. His most well known novel, ''Imagining Argentina'', employs the methods of magic realism to tell a story of the Dirty War (1976-1983). This novel, along with ''Naming the Spirits'' and ''Tales from the Blue Archives'', makes up the Argentina Trilogy. His work, published in eighteen languages, is frequently taught in schools and universities. In 1994 a film was made of ''Imagining Argentina'' by Christopher Hampton starring Antonio Banderas, Emma Thompson, Claire Bloom and Michael Wood. In 1996, Zorongo Flamenco, a Minneapolis-based flamenco troupe, staged a flamenco version of the novel that featured an international cast of dancers and singers. In addition to writing six novels, he is the author of a non-fiction study of modern fiction, ''Unbodied Hope'', as well as scholarly articles in PMLA, Comparative Literature, American Literature, Modern Fiction Studies and other learned journals. During the 1990s he was a regular reviewer for The New York Times Book Review.
