			        		&#x201C;Riveting tales of murder and mayhem. . . . [Calvin] Trillin is a superb writer, with a magical ability to turn even the most mundane detail into spellbinding wonder. Armed with this wealth of material, he utterly shines. Every piece here is a gem.&#x201D;&#x2014;The Seattle Times&#x201C;What Mr. Trillin does so well, what makes Killings literature, is the way he pictures the lives that were interrupted by the murders. Even the most ordinary life makes a terrible noise . . . when it&#x2019;s broken off.&#x201D;&#x2014;Anatole Broyard, The New York Times &#x201C;Fascinating, troubling . . . In each of these stories is the basis of a Dostoevskian novel.&#x201D;&#x2014;Edward Abbey, Chicago Sun-Times &#x201C;The stories . . . are unforgettable. They leave us, finally, with the awareness of the unknowable opacity of the human heart.&#x201D;&#x2014;Bruce Colman, San Francisco Chronicle&#x201C;[Trillin] writes brilliantly. . . . These stories still hold up, as classics.&#x201D;&#x2014;The Buffalo News &#x201C;In his artful ability to conjure up a whole life and a whole world, Trillin comes as close to achieving the power of a Chekhov short story as can anyone whose material is so implacably tied to fact.&#x201D;&#x2014;Frederick Iseman, Harper&#x2019;s Bazaar&#xA0;&#x201C;I have a book for you true-crime addicts if you&#x2019;re caught up on the podcast Serial, the cascade on TV of 48 Hours and Dateline NBC episodes, the hundreds of hours of Law and Order and its various offspring&#x2014;oh, and the nearly eight-hour O.J.: Made in America and the ten or so hours of Making a Murderer. It&#x2019;s time to pick up Calvin Trillin&#x2019;s Killings.&#x201D;&#x2014;The New York Times Book Review&#x201C;Trillin&#x2019;s subjects are diverse and poignant. Each story captures not only a physical setting but also the tone of the era in which it occurred. Well-crafted and thoughtfully composed, lacking judgment and admonishment, these are a true piece of quality journalism, which clearly continues to captivate audiences.&#x201D;&#x2014;Library Journal&#x201C;Violent deaths illuminate complex lives and desperate circumstances in this expanded reissue of the classic collection of the author&#x2019;s true-crime reporting. . . . With telling detail and shrewd insights, [Calvin Trillin] masterfully evokes the places and personalities that hatched these grim episodes.&#x201D;&#x2014;Publishers Weekly
