- Jim Lynch (born 1961) is an American author of four novels. His work has been compared to authors including John Steinbeck,Ken Kesey, Tom Robbins, and Richard Russo. Lynch's first novel, The Highest Tide, became a bestseller in the United Kingdom after the coming-of-age story was featured on the Richard & Judy book club television show in England. It went on to receive the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award in 2006. His second novel, Border Songs, set along the rural western end of the Canada–United States border, won the Washington State Book Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the American Booksellers Association award for best fiction in 2009. Truth Like the Sun, Lynch's third novel, (its title quite appropriately based on one of Elvis Presley's most celebrated quotes, namely "Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.” ) was released in April 2012. Set in Seattle, during the 1962 World's Fair, a time when Presley and other celebrities, including Vice President Lyndon Johnson visited it as well as in 2001, the story involves the investigation of a city legend by an ambitious reporter. Critics have likened the novel to classic movies about American power and corruption, such as Chinatown, Citizen Kane, and All the President's Men. His most recent novel, Before the Wind, was released in April 2016. It stars a gifted and volatile family obsessed with sailing. It will be available in paperback in March 2017 in the United States and Canada. Translation rights for the novel have been sold to publishers in France and Spain as well. (en)
