Yes! MWA University Returns! Virtual Webinars on or Around the First Wednesday of Each Month.
August 15 @ 11:02 pm
The next session will be on Wednesday, September 4th, 8:00 p.m. NY time. It will feature Daniel Stashower, discussing setting.
Daniel says: “Powerful settings have always been essential to the mystery story, from Poe’s ‘rank sedges, vacant eye-like windows and white trunks of decayed trees’ to I. S. Berry’s ‘noncontiguous streets, noises without origin or purpose, and angles that didn’t quite fit together.”’ As MWA Grand Master P.bD. James noted, “Setting, important in any work of fiction, is particularly so in a detective story. It establishes atmosphere, influences plot and character,and enhances the horror of murder.”
