My Wit Is Quick

Mickey Spillane speaks from the grave! Well, sorta. Today’s installment of Fresh Air on National Public Radio will repeat an interview that host Terry Gross did with the creator of Mike Hammer back in November 1989. In addition, books critic and crime-fiction fan Maureen Corrigan will comment on Spillane’s place in the genre.

If you’re unable to listen to the show, the audio should be available here at about 3 p.m. ET.

(Thanks to Bill Crider for the heads up.)
