A Meeting of Literary Criminal Minds | William Mann & Margot Douaihy
What drives people to crime, on the page and beyond it? In this spirited conversation, two bestselling authors explore the art of and rationale for writing about murder and mayhem. Margot Douaihy, whose Sister Holiday hardboiled series follows an unlikely nun-sleuth through the understory of New Orleans, discusses her latest novel, Divine Ruin, a mystery that confronts the fentanyl epidemic. William Mann presents his groundbreaking investigation The Black Dahlia: Murder, Monsters, and Madness in Midcentury Hollywood, the definitive account of America’s most famous unsolved murder. Together, Douaihy and Mann examine what it means to write crime narratives (fiction and nonfiction) with conscience and aesthetic edge.
