In Praise of Art

In Thursday's City Paper, I paid homage to a man I've talked about in this blog every now and then: Art Bourgeau, co-owner of Philly's Whodunit mystery bookstore. But I'm not alone. Local writer Jack Curtin read my piece, then posted his own tribute to Art... as well as the day Stephen King stopped in to scoop up a bunch of paperbacks at Whodunit back in the day. Check it out right here.

  2. The man's got fine taste in music, too. Ever enjoyed that on a visit to Whodunit?

  3. Art's Mystery Lovers Companion was the reason I started writing about mysteries in the first place.

    So blame him for me becoming a critic.
