new york

As New York celebrates the sharp decline in crime…the crime writer may be the only New Yorker for whom that drop is not an unequivocal blessing. Just as the breakup of the Soviet Union caused problems for writers whose plots hinged on the dark doings of the cold war, so New York’s crime writers are wondering where to find grist in a far safer city.

Terrible. Bring back the crime.

Another Book/Movie story... Filming has started on a new film about Welsh Author/Poet, Dylan Thomas, famous in both Wales and New York during the Second World war, mainly for the book Under Milk Wood. This site by his daughter Aeronwy, contains information on lots of his work.
