McConfidential: Sean Chercover

It's been some time since my last McConfidential, so I'm very pleased to be back with one of my favourite hardboiled detective story authors, Sean Chercover . The natural successor to Chandler, Parker, and Crais, in my humble opinion... Rafe: Tell me a bit about your latest novel or current series. Sean: Trigger City is the second book about Chicago investigative reporter-turned PI Ray Dudgeon, who...

Mysteries versus crime novels

Following up on last night's post Jeff Pierce wrote: I guess I don't understand the difference between crime fiction and mysteries. Are mysteries defined by the fact that the reader doesn't know who did it, while readers of crime fiction do? Just wondering. Jeff P. Ed here: I guess my so-called friend had two parts to his agenda. One was to tell me without telling me that he thought that I wrote trash....

WIR #19: The Tower

Following the advice of Ray Bradbury and Walter Mosley (although Bradbury's advice preceeded that of Mosley's), I am now reading some poetry, and intend to make it a regular habit. I'm starting with W. B. Yeats's The Tower.The copy I'm reading is a facsimile edition of the 1928 first edition collection of these poems. It is also one of the books I recently checked out from my local library.

Sunday Salon: Why Read Crime Fiction? & Other Random Thoughts

I was listening to National Public Radio (NPR) on my drive home from a workshop this past week and author Walter Mosley was on, along with someone whose name I cannot remember from Law & Order . They were talking about what draws people to crime fiction. My very first thought was, “Oh good! I have a long drive ahead of me!” One of those rare times in recent history anyone’s prayed...

Theory heard while out and about: the Comptroller's race will be decided in a runoff. All contenders – Council members John Liu, David Yassky, Melinda Katz, and David Weprin – seem to poll about 25%. Yassky is seen to have Manhattan; Katz, the Bronx; Weprin, Staten Island; and Liu, of course, Queens. The wild card is Brooklyn. Liu is seen to have the edge in central Brooklyn due to the...

On Being Noticed And NOT Being Crushed

Not Enough Thrills in Parliament Already?

It’s hardly uncommon for political leaders to influence what books the rest of us carry along on our summer vacations. The careers of Dennis Lehane, Walter Mosley, Harlan Coben, and Alex Kava were all boosted after the media pointed out that former U.S. President Bill Clinton enjoyed their novels. And we have mentioned before that the popularity of super-spy James Bond was fueled in part by
