#120: Crime and Concept Stores

It's been a few weeks since the last podcast, but Chad and Tom are back with a over-stuffed episode that starts with a recap of recent events before turning to Barnes & Noble's plans for their concept stores followed by a lengthy discussion about international crime authors.

 

Here's a complete list of articles, authors, and books discussed in this episode:

 

• What Barnes & Noble Doesn't Get about Independent Bookstores;
• The 2016 Neustadt Prize (and corresponding article by Chad);
• The Point Reyes Indiegogo;
• East Bay Booksellers;
• Rage by Zygmunt Miłoszewski, translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones;
• Giorgio Scerbanenco;
• Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö's Martin Beck series;
• Wolf Haas;
• Melville House International Crime Series;
• The Thief by Fuminori Nakamura, transalted from the Japanese by Satoko Izumo and Stephen Coates;
• Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama, translated from the Japanese by Jonathan Lloyd-Davies;
• The Borrowed by Chan Ho-Kei, translated from the Chinese by Jeremy Tiang;
• The Hermit by Thomas Rydahl, translated from the Danish by K.E. Semmel;
