Thomas Grissom is a
former research physicist and Department Manager at
Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM, where
he oversaw the design and development of major nuclear
weapons components. Grissom resigned his post in 1985
after fifteen years of service as a matter of
conscience, a decision and a career later chronicled in
three separate accounts: Studs Terkel, The Great Divide,
Pantheon Books, 1988; Debra Rosenthal, At the Heart of
the Bomb, Addison Wesley, 1990; Melissa Everett,
Breaking Ranks, New Society Publishers, 1989. His
upcoming novel, Parodies of the Fall (Charles River
Press, summer 2012) incorporates his experiences, moral
questions and dilemmas into a compelling
narrative.
Grissom spent the next
twenty-two years as a Member of the Faculty at The
Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, where he taught
across a broad spectrum of curricula including Great
Books, literature and philosophy, as well as physics and
mathematics.
Mr. Grissom has
published two volumes of poetry and has completed
manuscripts on archery, two short-story collections, and
a scientific text published by John Hopkins University
Press, summer 2011. He lives with his wife in the
American Southwest where he is working on a sequel to
Parodies of the
Fall.
