Jorge Thomas

Jorge Thomas, born Juan David Morgan in 1942, was a notable Panamanian writer and novelist known for his critical approach to historical narratives. His most acclaimed work, 'Con ardientes fulgores de gloria,' published in 1999, employs postmodern narrative techniques to challenge official histories and explore complex themes of identity and morality surrounding Panama's separation from Colombia. Thomas's literature is characterized by its rich intertextuality, blending historical fact with fiction to reveal deeper truths about national identity and imperialism.
