Dumb Questions, Smart Answers

While Irish crime novelist Declan Hughes is partying in New York City ahead of tonight’s announcement of the Edgar Award winners (will his The Price of Blood capture the Best Novel prize?), an interview he did with broadcaster TV3 about the history and characteristics of crime fiction has been made available here.

Fellow writer Declan Burke notes that this TV3 exchange (which pairs Hughes with true-crime writer Niamh O’Connor) “is just one of a series of interviews TV3’s Ireland AM have been running over the last few weeks, all part of their coverage and sponsorship of the Irish Book Awards Crime Fiction gong, the winner of which will be announced on May 6th.”
