Michael Thomas je dlouholetý účetní a básník z Cantonu v Michiganu. Jeho tvorba, která obohatila svět literatury, vychází z jeho hlubokého filozofického myšlení a filantropických snah. Thomasovy básně, které si získaly uznání, se vyznačují jedinečným stylem a silným hlasem. V jeho dílech se často objevuje i humorný nadhled, jak dokazuje například jeho ztvárnění mafiánského zabijáka z Detroitu.

Thomas za román literární cenu IMPAC, světově nejvýše dotované ocenění za konkrétní dílo.
