Sara Gran, author of Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, talks with crime fiction expert Sarah Weinman
Brooklyn native Sara Gran returns to the borough to celebrate the publication of her new novel Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, already a favorite of the Greenlight staff and booksellers nationwide! Set in the rubble of post-Katrina New Orleans (where Gran lived for several years), the novel follows the eponymous detective, a hard-drinking clairvoyant loner schooled in the arcane ways of detecting by a mysterious book, as she attempts to solve a crime shrouded in the chaotic aftermath of the storm. Gran, who has written several previous works of noir fiction, discusses her work tonight with Sarah Weinman, currently the News Editor for Publishers Marketplace, who is also a writer of crime fiction and criticism.
