ABOUT THIS SESSION

 

Four authors explore crime fiction set across the Far East, discussing how culture, history, and geography shape their mysteries. They share how setting influences character, motive, and atmosphere, and how writing outside one’s own cultural lens demands research, respect, and narrative precision.
