These noir novels are Say Goodbye When I’m Gone, Always the Dead, and I’ll Pray When I’m Dying. Join us for an honest discussion of how mental illness is portrayed in crime and other fiction, how poetics does or does not fit into the noir creator’s craftsmanship, and an assessment of the indie crime fiction scene.
