    - A Free Public Talk with Matthew Sullivan - "A Nicer Kind of Murder: The Evolution of Crime Fiction" Murder isn’t what it used to be. Explore the shifting role of the victim in detective novels, and how that shift reflects broader social changes. From Poe and Sherlock Homes to British cozies and Hardboiled pulps, novelist Matthew Sullivan traces the many influences on the postwar and modern eras of the mystery genre and shows how empathy plays a unique role in contemporary crime novels—especially in today’s literary mysteries. Matthew Sullivan (he/him) is the author of the novel Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore. His essays and stories have appeared in the New York Times, Daily Beast, Spokesman-Review, Sou’wester, and elsewhere.
