Sara Paretsky’s non-fiction works offer a window into the mind behind the V.I. Warshawski mysteries. Writing In An Age Of Silence (2007) is a personal memoir that traces her path from growing up in Kansas to becoming one of America’s best-known mystery writers, while also reflecting on free speech and political engagement.
Words, Works, and Ways of Knowing (2016) collects Paretsky’s essays on topics ranging from literature and the craft of writing to broader social and political concerns. Both books give readers a deeper understanding of the ideas and experiences that shape her fiction.
