Thomas Wharton was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta, an agriculture and oil city located near the BC border. His father, a utilities manager, was transferred to Jasper when Wharton was a teen. The years Wharton spent exploring the mountains and glaciers around Jasper have had a lasting impact on his literary output; references to the Rocky Mountains weave in and out of the books he has written, most notably Icefields (1995) and The Logogryph. A life-long love of maps, history, art, and poetry equally informs his work. A Landmark Edition of Icefields was published by NeWest Press in fall 2021.
Thomas Wharton lives in Edmonton with his wife and three children. An assistant professor of English at the University of Alberta, his latest novel, The Book of Rain, will be published by Random House Canada in 2023. For more information, visit Thomas Wharton’s website: www.thomaswharton.ca.
