Fresh Air's Interview with Charles Ardai

Charles Ardai: Hard Case Shows a Soft Spot for Pulp : NPR: "Fresh Air from WHYY, May 5, 2008 � Edgar Award-winning author Charles Ardai is founder of Hard Case Crime, a pulp-fiction publishing group that reprints classic crime stories and publishes new pulp. All Hard Case novels come out in mass-market paperback editions, much like the classic crime novels from the '40s, '50s and '60s, with cover art inspired by images from the genre's heyday."

A good interview, though why it's necessary to misuse the word "pulp" I've never understood.

In citing this to Rara-Avis today, I forgot to mention that Otto Pennzler was on MORING EDITION, today, as well...

Here's the Philip Marlowe discussion link, featuring Chandler talking with Ian Fleming and Penzler and Robert Crais on the significance of Marlowe (also the hotlink on my name):

Could he be any more articulate and charming? For goodness sake, he should have his own radio show.
