What's the difference between telling a good crime story and telling someone's story? This Noirvember, we're diving into the fascinating, sometimes complicated relationship between true crime and crime fiction. I'm joined by Jennifer Graeser Dornbush and Sebastian Krahl for a conversation about what it means to work with crime as source material, whether you're writing fiction or exploring real-life cases. We talk about the responsibilities that come with telling these stories, navigating the fine line between entertainment and exploitation, respecting the people behind the headlines and finding a balance between the darkness of crime and the reasons we're drawn to these stories in the first place. Because there's a lot more to a good crime story than just figuring out whodunit. So grab your magnifying glass, settle in and join us for a little Noirvember reading (and listening) room discussion! Looking for the video version of our show?
