In the final part of Laura Lippman's This Writing Life podcast, we begin by discussing trigger warnings: the fine line between offensiveness and individual sensitivities. ----more----From there we move to:
- how violence is portrayed on the news
- secrets and Lippman's family
- 'I was brought up by Southern parents. Don't ask anybody their age. Never talk about money. I think part of the reason I became a journalist it gave me license was to ask those questions...'
- Lippman and her heroines: Tess Monaghan and Luisa Brant
- Lippman and her father
- history, taking down statues and the politics of women on $10
- 'We are doing something right now, today, that is going to seem despicable in 50 years...'
- posterity, Lippman and crime fiction
- crime v literary fiction: Lippman and the never-ending genre-wars
- 'There are so many books. You have to be arrogant to have anything to say...'
- after some blatant references to The Wire, Richard Price and Dennis Lehane, we move to the social realist novel
- a little afterword on James Crumley
- 'Elmore Leonard is my role model'
- George Pelecanos, Elmore Leonard and Lippman's cute nose...
