James Thomas, 1904, 1979, US-amerik. Schriftst. (soz.-krit. Romane u. Kurzgeschichten).
(1938-) English architect. He works in a Postmodern idiom, largely for corporate clients seeking an alternative to the rigors of Modernist or High Tech office blocks.

Alban Gate in the City of London 1992 is a continuation of the language but is more towerlike in form.
Farrell's style is robust and eclectic, and he is not afraid to make jokes in architecture, such as the gaily painted giant egg cups that adorn the parapet of his TV AM building in Camden, London, 1981–82. Other works include studios for Limehouse Productions, Henley Royal Regatta HQ, and the Craft Council Galleries.
J(ames) G(ordon) (1935-1979) English historical novelist. His work includes Troubles 1970, set in Ireland, and The Siege of Krishnapur 1973.
