So what does it mean to be an American? Previous guests on KEEN ON AMERICA like Arlie Russell Hochschild and Thelton Henderson told me that they learnt to be an American during the civil rights unrest of the Sixties. Sara Paretsky, the creator of the incomparable female Chicago detective V.I. Warshawski, might agree. As Paretsky told me, learning what it meant to be American was shaped by her experience in the civil rights struggles in Chicago during the Sixties. And the issue of racial injustice remains with her today, featuring centrally in her new V.I. Warshawski thriller, Pay Dirt, a novel which returns returns us to the Kansas of the Civil War.Sara Paretsky revolutionized the mystery world in 1982 when she introduced V.I. Warshawski in Indemnity Only. By creating a detective with the grit and smarts to take on the mean streets, Paretsky challenged a genre in which women historically were vamps or victims. V.I. struck a chord with readers and critics; Indemnity Only was followed by twenty more V.I. novels. Her voice and her world remain vital to readers; the New York Times calls V.I., “a proper hero for these times,” adding, “to us, V.I. is perfect.” While Paretsky's fiction changed the narrative about women, her work also opened doors for other writers. In 1986 she created Sisters in Crime, a worldwide organization to advocate for women crime writers, which earned her Ms. Magazine's 1987 Woman of the Year award. More accolades followed: the British Crime Writers awarded her the Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement; Blacklist won the Gold Dagger from the British Crime Writers for best novel of 2004, and she has received the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from a number of universities. Called “passionate” and “electrifying,” V.I. reflects her creator's own passion for social justice. After chairing the school's first Commission on the Status of Women as a Kansas University undergraduate, Paretsky worked as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side during the turbulent race riots of 1966. Since then, Paretsky's volunteer work has included advocating for healthcare for the mentally ill homeless; mentoring teens in Chicago's most troubled schools, and working for reproductive rights. Through her Sara & Two C-Dogs foundation, she also helps build STEM and arts programs for young people. The actress Kathleen Turner played V.I. Warshawski in the movie of that name. Paretsky's work is celebrated in Pamela Beere Briggs's documentary, Women of Mystery. Today Sara Paretsky's books are published in 30 countries. Paretsky detailed her journey from Kansas farm-girl to New York Times bestseller in her 2007 memoir, Writing in an Age of Silence, which was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. In addition, Paretsky has written two stand-alone novels, Ghost Country, and Bleeding Kansas, set in the part of rural Kansas where Paretsky grew up. She has published several short story collections, most recently Love & Other Crimes, and has edited numerous other anthologies. Like her fictional detective, Paretsky has an adored Golden Retriever. Like alto Warshawski, soprano Paretsky doesn't work hard enough at her vocal exercises, but the two women share a love for espresso and rich Italian reds.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Sara Paretsky transformed the mystery world in 1982 with the introduction of private eye V I Warshawski in Indemnity Only. She and V I —tough, credible, street-smart and feminine—challenged the stereotypes of women in fiction as victims or vamps. They made it possible for a new generation of crime writers and fighters to thrive, a generation she continues to support as one of the founders of Sisters in Crime. Paretsky has been awarded both the Cartier Diamond Dagger and MWA's Grand Master. In 2012, she received the Harold Washington Literary Award, whose previous winners include Saul Bellow and Margaret Atwood.

«سر آل رد گریو» مدتی بعد از مرگ پسرش، با دریافت نامه‌ای بی‌امضاء که کشیشان «سَن آن سِلم» را متهم به قتل «رونالد گریو» کرده بود، فرمانده «آدام برتون» را مأمور تحقیق پرونده کرد. در کلیسا «پدر سن سباستین» ورود پنج مهمان جدید را به کشیش‌ها اطلاع می‌دهد و از آنها می‌خواهد که با فرمانده پلیس همکاری کنند. همچنین از رافائل می‌خواهد که با «پدر جان بیترتون» درباره‌ی حضور «بازرس کرامپتون» در سن آن سلم صحبت کند؛ چراکه بنابر عقیده‌ی بعضی‌ها از جمله «رافائل»، کرامپتون با شهادت علیه پدر جان باعث شد که دادگاه حکم به زندانی شدن او بدهد. بنابراین پدر جان نمی‌تواند حضور کرامپتون را در سن آن سلم تحمل کند. از طرف دیگر، کرامپتون با مهمان دیگر به نام «بازرس یاروت» هم مشکل دارد، چون یاروت همان کسی است که گزارش پرونده‌ی قتل همسر اول کرامپتون را به دادگاه ارائه داده و دادگاه رأی به خودکشی داده است. پدر مارتین همان روز اول فرمانده برتون را به دیدن تابلوی رستاخیز می‌برد و در کلیسا آخرین یادداشت‌های مرگ «مارگارت مونرو» را به او می‌دهد و از فرمانده می‌خواهد در مورد مرگ مونرو بیشتر تحقیق کند. در دفتر وکالت «پیر رود» فرمانده برتون مطلع می‌شود که «کلارا» فرزندش، رافائل، را همراه یادداشتی در کلیسا رها کرده و در سال ۱۹۸۸ از دنیا رفته است. صبح روز یکشنبه فرمانده به پدر سپاستین خبر می‌دهد که کرامپتون به قتل رسیده است. * درباره نویسنده: «دوروتی جیمز» مشهور به «پی. دی. جیمز» در سوم اوت سال ۱۹۲۰میلادی در آکسفورد انگلستان به دنیا آمد و در ۱۶ سالگی مدرسه را ترک کرد. پی. دی. جیمز در جنگ جهانی دوم، پرستار صلیب سرخ بود، سپس به مدت ۳۰ سال در اداره‌ی بیمه خدمات درمانی دولت «National Health Service» کار می‌کرد و پس از مرگ همسرش در سال ۱۹۶۴، با سمت مدیر بخش‌های پزشکی قانونی و حقوق جزا در وزارت امور داخلی مشغول به فعالیت شد و چندین سال در این شغل ماند. «پی. دی. جیمز» از دهه‌ی شصت میلادی نوشتن را آغاز کرد. او از تجربه‌های کاری‌اش در نوشتن رمان‌هایش بهره برد و اولین رمان پلیسی خود را با نام «چهره پنهان» زمانی که ۴۲ ساله بود، منتشر کرد. این کتاب با استقبال خوانندگان انگلیسی‌زبان مواجه شد، اما درواقع پس از انتشار «خون بی‌گناه»، هشتمین رمان این نویسنده، در سال ۱۹۸۰بود که او به شهرتی جهانی رسید. او در طول زندگی‌اش بیش از ۲۰ داستان و رمان جنایی و مرموز نوشت و یکی از نویسندگان برتر داستان‌های جنایی انگلیسی شناخته شد و بعد از آگاتا کریستی لقب «ملکه جنایت» را از آن خود کرد. وی از سال ۱۹۷۹ تمام زندگی‌اش را وقف نوشتن کرد و در سال ۲۰۰۰ زندگی‌نامه‌اش بانام «Time to Be in Earnest» را به چاپ رساند. براساس برخی از داستان‌‌های او تاکنون چندین آثار سینمایی خوب و موفق ساخته شده است و آثار او به چندین زبان دنیا ترجمه شده‌اند. پی. دی. جیمز جایزه‌ی «Cartier Diamond Dagger» را برای سال‌ها فعالیت در زمینه‌ی تألیف داستان‌های جنایی دریافت کرد و در سن ۹۴ سالگی در تاریخ ۲۷ ماه نوامبر سال ۲۰۱۴ درگذشت. او با خلق کارآگاهی به نام «آدام دالگلیش» که بعد از «شرلوک‌ هلمز» و «پوآرو» مشهورترین کارآگاه داستانی در ادبیات انگلیسی‌زبان به شمار می‌رود، جوایز ادبی متعددی را در کشورهای متعدد از آن خود کرد. ملکه بریتانیا در سال ۱۹۸۳ از او تقدیر کرد و در سال ۱۹۹۱ عنوان «بارونس» به او اعطا شد. همچنین جوایزی چون «خنجر الماس نشان کارتیه»، «جایزه ادگار آلن پو»، «خنجر انجمن جنایی‌نویسان» و ... را در دوران فعالیت ادبی‌اش به‌ دست آورد. کتاب‌های پی. دی. جیمز به زبان‌های گوناگون ترجمه شده و براساس آنها نیز مجموعه‌های تلویزیونی ساخته شده است. از آثار او می‌توان به اینها اشاره کرد: مرگ به پمبرلی می‌آید، عمارت معصوم، آشیانه بلبل، نخستین گناه، فرزندان بشر، حرفه‌ای نامناسب برای یک زن، انگیزه‌های غیرطبیعی، ذهنی برای یک قتل و .... *کتاب: Death in Holy Orders(۲۰۰۱) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hazardastan/message

In this spellbinding collection, Paretsky showcases her extraordinary talents in a new V.I. Warshawski story, along with fourteen additional short stories, eight of those featuring the indomitable detective.

Two crime writers join The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky and author and Fox News anchor John Hook join Halli at her table to discuss their new books, Peretsky's FALLOUT and Hook's WHO KILLED BOB CRANE.In her first novel for William Morrow, FALLOUT, everyone's favorite crime novelist, Sara Paretsky is back with our favorite investigator V. I. Warshawski but in a completely new kind of mystery that will take Vic out of Chicago and into Kansas, searching for answers that time and prejudice may have long erased. The beloved mystery writer is the author of 19 previous novels and is one of only four living writers to receive both the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the Crime Writer's Association. FALLOUT, just released is already on the New York Times Bestseller list. Bob Crane, Hogan's Heroes. Crane's epithet might have read: Award-winning star of celebrated sitcom. But when the series ended, Crane's career declined. The once beloved star took to the road, starring in plays nationwide. It was while he was on tour for the play Beginner's Luck in June 1978, Crane was found bludgeoned to death in his Scottsdale apartment, a murder that today remains officially unsolved, Crane's tawdry personal life, that of a sex addicted deviant who had learned the wonders of home video, and descended into a life of strip clubs, BDSM, and a closet homosexual exposed for his fans to see. A suspect, a trial, an acquittal, the mystery went on to spawn hundreds of articles, books, and movies over the past four decades. And there the story remained, yet another Hollywood cold case. Until, that is, John Hook a veteran news reporter and television anchor for over 30 years in Arizona, who has won more than a dozen Emmys for his reporting had his interest in the case rekindled, following an interview with Crane's son Robert, Jr. It was that interview that sparked the idea to retest the blood evidence using modern DNA science. His journey to the heart of this mystery is chronicled in John Hook's new book, WHO KILLED BOB CRANE, with a foreword by Robert Crane, Jr.Crime, murder, mystery, fiction, Hogan's Heroes with crime writers NY Times bestselling author of FALLOUT, Sara Paretsky and Fox News anchor and author of WHO KILLED BOB CRANE, John Hook all on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show the podcast available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

Nov. 15, 2013. Best-selling author Sara Paretsky discussed "Critical Mass," her 16th V.I. Warshawski novel, which features Warshawski's best friend, Vienna-born doctor Lotty Herschel. Paretsky's skills in developing compelling characters and plots are demonstrated once again in this novel, as she weaves together Lotty's childhood in Vienna, missing persons, meth labs, Chicago history and the race for the atomic bomb during World War II. Speaker Biography: Born in Iowa and raised in Kansas, Sara Paretsky moved to Chicago in the 1960s to organize for social change. Paretsky's interest in social justice helped develop her powerful voice on behalf of the disenfranchised, a voice that can be found in the pages of her novels. A tireless reader of the mystery genre, she created V.I. Warshawski to respond to what she saw as a dearth of worthy female characters in mysteries. In 1986, Paretsky helped found and served as the first president of "Sisters in Crime," a worldwide organization to support women crime writers. It earned her Ms. Magazine's 1987 Woman of the Year award. More accolades followed: the British Crime Writers awarded her the Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement; "Blacklist" won the Gold Dagger from the British Crime Writers for best novel of 2004; and she has received honorary Doctor of Letters degrees from several universities. Paretsky was named the 2011 Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America. In addition to the Warshawski mysteries, Paretsky has written the novels "Ghost Country" and "Bleeding Kansas;" a memoir, "Writing in the Age of Silence," which was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist; and several collections of short stories. Her books are published in 30 countries. For transcript, captions, and more information, visit http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=6224
