An action-packed romp as the Latin teacher Rhodes maneuvers the absurd banalities and long winter of a New England Prep School. Thompson\u2019s writing is fresh and irreverent, keenly intelligent with flourishes of light and music. Practical vs. Reckless. Confused vs. Focused. Conformist vs. Renegade. In\u00a0Winter Light<\/em><\/strong>, Peter Thompson\u2019s 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\u2014standing alone in the fields, parting the weeds, and trying to spot their dream. Peter Thompson
