Patricia Abbott (pattinase): Three Female Crime Writers Dish About Noir

Saturday, December 06, 2008

David Foster Wallace reading.

Christa Faust, Megan Abbott and Cathi Unsworth talk to Bookslut right here. (Hat tip to Uncle Jeff).

Dana King said...: Good interview. It's encouraging to see three successful writers who have many of the same approaches and outlooks as I do. Just means I need to refine a little more to get rid of the "pre-published" tag. I hope.

Congratulations, Patti, on Megan's success. With a daughter of my own getting closer every day to going out on her own, I'm starting to anticipate how you must feel.; 10:57 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: Thanks, Dana. We both have daughters to be proud of. And I have a son too who's a prosecutor with a wicked record in keeping bad guys behind bars.; 11:32 AM
sandra seamans said...: Thanks for the link, Patti! Sometimes I think I'm beating my head against the wall when I write my dark stories. While I'm not on a par with these ladies, it's nice to know that we're not alone in the dark.; 1:58 PM
Barbara Martin said...: Thanks for providing this interview, Patti.

There has always been a dark side to life. It matters not who writes about these aspects, as long as they do.; 2:10 PM
Terrie Farley Moran said...: Hi Patti,

Thanks for linking to this terrific interview.

Terrie; 10:58 PM
pattinase (abbott) said...: Thanks, Terrie.; 9:15 AM
Paul D Brazill said...: Patti, this is top interview with three very different writers. Smashing.; 12:03 PM
pattinase (abbott) said...: Glad you liked it, Paul.; 12:24 PM
