International noir in Brooklyn

This weekend's Brooklyn Book Festival includes a session on international noir, if you should happen to be around Brooklyn Borough Hall Sunday afternoon.

Guests include Caryl Férey, whose novel Zulu is a recent topic of discussion here; Mexico's Paco Ignacio Taibo II; Hirsh Sawhney, editor of Delhi Noir and my fellow radio guest on Wisconsin Public Radio last year; and Pete Hamill. They'll talk about noir and its enduring appeal starting at 3 p.m. on the International Stage at Borough Hall.

That's just one of the weekend's events, all available for the attractive price of FREE. Here's the complete schedule. See you there.
