Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Ide

Today's episode focuses on two thrillers that our host, Andrew Limbong, read while on parental leave. First, R.F. Kuang speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about her novel Yellowface and the complicated nuances of writing about friendship and cultural appropriation. Then, Japanese-American author Joe Ide takes a walk with Karen Grigsby Bates, formerly of NPR's Code Switch team, to explain how his upbringing in South Central L.A. informed his series I.Q. and his choice to write from the perspective of a Black protagonist.

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Joe Ide, author of FIXIT, his latest crime novel featuring private investigator Isaiah Qunitabe, better known as IQ.  In the interview, Ide discussed the arc of his IQ character over six books, and how the character has changed because of the trauma he has experienced through his PI exploits.  FIXIT also looks deeply at the story behind the antagonist, assassin Skip Hanson.  Ide also explained why he introduced the character homicide detective Winnie Hando in FIXIT.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewTwitter - @diversebookshayEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.comWeb site: https://diversevoicesbookreview.wordpress.com/

To further complicate things, Lauren's planning her own 'jailbreak'. It looks like things are going to be a lot harder than McIntyre's used to. Luckily, he has his team around him, a motley and colourful bunch, each with their own speciality.The intertwined stories come together as the various characters all converge on a glamorous summer party at Hepworth's spectacular villa. Can McIntyre play the different factions off against each other and get Lauren to safety without things going horribly wrong?Whatever Gets You Through The Night is a crime novel with a thrillingly dark heart about the truths that lurk beneath the picture post card surface of a sunny Mediterranean idyll.CHARLIE HIGSON started writing when he was ten years old.

The only thing better than an unexpected twist is the mind-blowing double-cross-cross that you never even saw coming. This new episode of Crush Fictionally is action packed – we are joined by crime fiction writer Joe Ide. Joe brings his insight and expert guidance as we examine what characteristics make up a cool, fictional detective. Of course cool is a subjective term so as we break-down our preferences, we consider the role mystery, solitude, honesty, dedication, instinct, and natural intellect play in developing a quintessential detective. After imparting solid life *and* writing advice, we bow down to Joe's amazing ability to create fascinating character arcs, witty dialogue, and remarkable plot developments. You can find Joe Ide's IQ book series (“IQ”, “Righteous”, “Wrecked”, “Hi Five”, and “Smoke”) at your favorite local book store right now, with “The Goodbye Coast: A Philip Marlowe Novel” hitting shelves very soon. Arresting our hearts this week: Harry Hole of the fictional crime book series from Jo Nesbø (although played by Michael Fassbender outside of the novels), Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) of Mare of Easttown, and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) of True Detective. *************** SHOW INFO Crush Fictionally is produced and edited by Peter Byrnes.

Zeno Robinson returns to narrate the fifth in Ide’s IQ series. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Robinson’s skilled narration that grounds this audiobook using his gift for dialogue and skill with action sequences. Robinson eases listeners inside Isaiah Quintabe’s (IQ’s) weary mind as he departs L.A. to look for peace and rejuvenation in Northern California. But trouble follows, and Robinson accelerates the tempo as IQ traps a blackmailer, catches a serial killer, and prevents corporate backstabbing. Robinson is terrific with dialogue, and thankfully there’s lots of it. Published by Hachette Audio.

While it took him years to figure out what he was good at, Joe Ide's 4th novel in his "IQ" detective series is the latest evidence that he's definitely found his spot! He's masterfully reimagined Sherlock Holmes as a brilliant Black detective solving daunting crimes in the LA basin.

Author Joe Ide learned the power of observation early on, growing up as a quiet Japanese kid in South Central LA. He eventually harnessed that curiosity of other people into his award winning IQ series, following Isaiah Quintabe, a Black private eye who takes the cases in his community the cops won’t take. Now being made into a TV show EP’d by Snoop Dogg(!), Josh asks Joe how his writing has been influenced by his unique childhood, feeling like an outsider, and bringing new perspectives to the mystery and crime genres.

She's also the sole witness and number-one suspect in the murder of her boyfriend - found dead inside her Newport Beach boutique. Angus will do anything to save his daughter and he thinks private eye Isaiah Quintabe is just the man for the job - an offer IQ soon learns he can't refuse. The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Five radically different ones - among them, a naïve shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band and a wanton seductress.

HI FIVE is the fourth Joe Ide novel featuring black amateur sleuth, Isaiah Quintabe, nicknamed IQ. In the novel, IQ is coerced into taking the case of an arms dealer to solve the murder of his lieutenant. He was murdered in the clothing boutique of the arms dealer’s daughter, Cristiana, making her the prime suspect. What the arms dealer didn’t tell IQ is that Cristiana suffers from a multiple personalities disorder, and no one personality saw the entire incident. Set in Southern California, the characters in Joe Ide’s IQ novels are a menagerie of blacks seeking the American dream with some suffer. His villains come from a wide variety of colors and backgrounds, written with the thought that most villains see themselves as the good guys. Having grown up in South Central Los Angeles, Ide brings a sense of authenticity to what it is like to grow up in the hood. Joe IDE’s first novel, IQ, won The Private Eye Writers of America's Shamus Award for Best First Private Eye Novel.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes JOE IDE back to the studio for a discussion about the third book in his IQ series, WRECKED. About Joe: Growing up, Mr. Ide lived in two worlds: At home, his stern grandfather collected samurai swords and spoke no English; outside he had mostly black friends. He was never completely at ease in either place, but the experience taught him how to decipher people and how to blend in. He didn’t even blink when I asked whether he hesitated to write books about almost exclusively black characters. “Never occurred to me,” he said. This outsider sensibility combined with a deep knowledge of those South Central streets helped Mr. Ide many decades later when he sat down to write his first novel, about a cerebral private investigator who solves crimes in a community just like the one where he grew up.

Tell Me What You’re Reading #3: Jim Finnegan on a literary tour de force, from Haruki Murakami to Joe Ide, Jennifer Egan, Stephen King and many others

Rowan Petty is a conman down on his luck. He's flat broke, living out of cheap hotels, and wondering how it all went wrong. His car quits on him in Reno, and he takes a job there on the bottom rung of a lousy phone scam. When he's not swindling lonely widows, he tries to turn nickels into dimes at the poker table. One snowy night, he crosses paths with a sweet-talking hooker who's tired of the streets, and sparks fly. When an old friend of his turns up spreading a rumor about two million dollars in army money smuggled out of Afghanistan and stashed in an apartment in Los Angeles, it seems like a chance at the score of a lifetime. So Petty and the hooker head south, and straight into trouble. A wounded vet, a washed-up actor, and Petty's estranged daughter are all players in the dangerous game they find themselves caught up in. For the winner: a fortune. For the loser: a bullet to the head. Praise for Richard Lange "Lange writes of the disaffections and bewilderments of ordinary lives with as keen an anger and searing lyricism as anybody out there today. He is Raymond Carver reborn in a hard cityscape. Read him and be amazed." -- T.C. Boyle, author of The Harder They Come "When you find yourself rooting for the killer in a grisly crime novel, you know you're in the hands of a real writer. Every character feels like flesh and bone."-- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "Lange is incapable of creating a character that isn't memorable. Even the most minor are indelibly sketched.... The zone where literary fiction meets genre fiction is a crowded borderland these days. Lange proves himself comfortable on both sides of the line."-- Antoine Wilson, Los Angeles Times "Richard Lange is a natural-born storyteller."-- Ron Rash, author of Above the Waterfall "Make all the comparisons you like-Cormac McCarthy, Dennis Lehane, Martin Scorsese-but Richard Lange is a force of his own, the high standard for crime fiction." -- Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon, The Wilding, andRefresh, Refresh "Lange stands out as the greatest young crime writer of his generation, precisely because he doesn't write crime - he writes literature." -- Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight and Bad Sex on Speed "The Smack just might be Mr. Lange's best yet, and that's saying something. His Los Angeles tableau of concrete and graffiti and neon is as sharp as razor wire. The characters are authentic down to the bone, the dialogue pitch-perfect believable, the desperation palpable, the situation urgent, the story riveting. Simply put, The Smack wallops you upside the head with its bad-ass-ness."-- Tom Cooper, author of The Marauders "If Elmore Leonard and Dennis Cooper collaborated on a novel, they might produce something as exciting, harrowing and emotionally powerful as The Smack. Call it a literary thriller or call it thrilling literature--Richard Lange is emerging as the master of a new kind of novel: One that delivers breathless, gripping action while anchored in the authentic troubles of the real world. The Smack arrives like a genuine miracle--that rare thriller that will jack your pulse even as it breaks your heart."-- Adam Sternbergh, author of Shovel Ready "The Smack is much more than a crime novel. It is a novel about life itself. The secret to great writing isn't just to observe. It's to create a world that readers understand at least as well as they do their own. Richard Lange has accomplished this, and more. His sensitivity and pacing are reminiscent of Raymond Carver, Charles Willeford, and Jim Thompson." -- Gerald Petievich, author of To Live and Die in L.A. and The Sentinel "It's hard to imagine Richard Lange wasn't, in some previous life, a hustler from Reno with a girlfriend named Tinafey he met on a professional date who goes to LA to steal a fortune from a one-legged soldier home from Afghanistan and a host of other terrifying individuals. The characters are real and satisfying, the relationships will warm your heart and break it at the same time. The Smack is convincing, hectic and terrific fun."-- Joe Ide, author of IQ Event date:  Thursday, July 20, 2017 - 7:30pm
