Lawrence Block: Crime writer discusses technology for Book Week
Good Morning UlsterAvailable for over a year
American crime writer Lawrence Block talks to Chris Buckler about his latest novel about Bernie Rhoddenbar - a burglar and a bookseller. Two professions whose fortunes have been badly damaged by technology. CCTV has made it much more difficult to steal and online companies have taken a big chunk out of the bookstore business. That also limits the possibilities for a writer - even Larry. But he's come up with another adventure for Bernie - 'The Burglar who met Fredric Brown'.
