ABOUT THIS SESSION

 

What separates literary crime fiction from its pulp roots, and where do the two traditions overlap? In this lively discussion, Christopher Sikorski leads mystery authors in exploring the stylistic differences, shared DNA, and enduring influence of both approaches. From character depth and language to pacing and plot, the panel examines how literary and pulp traditions continue to shape modern crime writing.
