Q&A …

IN GOOD TASTE: MARILYN STASIO ON A LIFETIME OF BOOK REVIEWS GOOD TASTE: MARILYN STASIO. (Hat tip, Paul Davis.)

Even after being unceremoniously fired from her position (a move falsely announced as a retirement) in February, she remains buoyant when discussing books and writers she loves. Her knowledge of noir is encyclopedic, and it’s no wonder than her interest in crime began with her family’s set of encyclopedias. In our conversation, she was frank about how reviewing has changed, when to find beauty in the ugly, and why Agatha Christie is still the greatest.
