Author Talk: Sarah Weinman and Guests on Evidence of Things Seen
Books Are Magic present Sarah Weinman and special guests on Evidence of Things Seen.
Sarah Weinman will be discussing her new true crime anthology, Evidence of Things Seen with journalists May Jeong, Amelia Schonbek, and Samantha Schuyler. Books will be available for purchase from Books Are Magic.
In Evidence of Things Seen, fourteen of the most innovative crime writers working today cast a light on the cases that give crucial insight into our society. Edited by acclaimed writer Sarah Weinman, this anthology pulls back the curtain on how crime itself is a by-product of America’s systemic harms and inequalities. And in doing so, it reveals how the genre of true crime can be a catalyst for social change. These works combine brilliant storytelling with incisive cultural examinations—and challenge each of us to ask what justice should look like. Evidence of Things Seen introduces the new classics of true crime.
Sarah Weinman is the author of Scoundrel and The Real Lolita and the editor, most recently, of Unspeakable Acts: True Tales of Crime, Murder, Deceit & Obsession. Weinman writes the crime column for the New York Times Book Review.
May Jeong is a writer for Vanity Fair. She is the winner of the 2022 Ida B.Wells Award administered by the Newswomen's Club of New York.
Amelia Schonbek is a writer and editor who lives in New York. As a journalist, her work focuses on the ways that politics and social policy shape individual lives.
Samantha Schuyler is a writer, fact-checker, and editor from Florida living in New York. Her writing has appeared in The Nation, Jezebel, The Appeal, and The Baffler.
