Do you love crime fiction?
If so, this event could be for you. On 12th November 2012 the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA) are hosting a panel discussion on the topic “Is crime the new literary fiction?”
Chaired by Mark Lawson, the panel will be made up of best-selling crime thriller writers: Lee Child, Sophie Hannah, Peter James and John Banville.
It sounds like it’ll be a lively and entertaining debate.

It’s in my diary and I can’t wait!

Hi – thanks for stopping by my blog. I’ve added yours to my feed. I’m going to the above event. Perhaps we can say hello. I don’t think crime is the new literary fiction for what it’s worth but plenty of people I know read both.

Hi Sarah. Fab, look forward to seeing you there. Yes, I’m pretty sure there’s room for both, but it’s bound to be an interesting debate 🙂
