The Neglected Nobelist, Neglected No More

In the most recent installment the hosts revisit their bookshelves and describe their new findings from rereading some faves, including Strong's overwhelming reaction to T.C. Boyle's author photo.

From Day Job to Night Job
"The idea came to Mr. Mallory one night as he sat on his couch watching an old favorite, Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a lamp switch on in the apartment across the street."

Pair with: an essay about the emergence of "reimagined thrillers" that create characters out of setting.
