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.
