AWW23: Don't Try to Silence V.I. Warshawski - Sara Paretsky

Chair: Sue Turnbull


V. I. Warshawski is a private investigator with a forensic
interest in white collar crime who loves opera, dresses down,
runs whenever she can, and has a passion for her two dogs. She is
Sara Paretsky’s finest invention – a character of depth and
complexity. Over the course of more than 20 novels, Paretsky’s
depiction of V.I. has offered readers an alternative to the
’hardboiled dick’ and radically transformed the detective fiction
genre. Paretsky remembers V.I. and reflects on why social justice
matters.
