Thomas Boberg is the son of the surrealist painter Jørgen Boberg (1940–2009).
Undertitlen på Thomas Bobergs nye bog er vandrehistorier. Det kan både betyde vilde skrøner og rejsehistorier, og de ti vandrehistorier i Under uret er begge dele. De ti historier deler sig mellem vilde rejser i Sydamerika, specielt Peru, en enkelt i Spanien, og natteliv og barbesøg i København, men alle har de en desperation og søgen, men også en vanvittig humor, til fælles.
Under uret ligger i samme spor som Bobergs Rejseminder.
