TERRY GROSS, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. Our book critic, Maureen Corrigan, says that, by trade, writers are paranoid people. They spend too much time in their own heads, many of them worried about whether the work of other writers garners more sales and recognition. Here s Maureen s review of two new literary suspense tales that amp up the anxiety.
MAUREEN CORRIGAN, BYLINE: This spring, a wave of suspense stories is breaking whose plots center on struggling writers stealing someone else s work. But these novels are more socially aware than the traditional who-wrote-it tales of literary paranoia. In many of these stories, power imbalances rooted in gender or class tempt malefactors into thinking they re justified in stealing someone else s voice and story. Two of the best have just been published in time for early summer reading.

In How the Word is Passed, writer and poet Clint Smith visits eight places central to the history of slavery in America, including Thomas Jefferson s Monticello plantation and Louisiana s Angola prison. "We are taught that the history of slavery is something that happened almost like when there were dinosaurs," he says. But Smith notes that his grandfather s grandfather was enslaved and that "this history that we are told was so long ago wasn t, in fact, that long ago at all." Maureen Corrigan reviews two thriller novels: Chris Power s A Lonely Man and Jean Hanff Korelitz s nightmare of a thriller The Plot.
