9 OTT 2024 · In this episode, Matthew talks to Dr Jennifer Fleetwood about her book 'What we talk about when we talk about crime'. The book examines seven infamous crime stories to make sense of this modern confessional impulse, including Howard Marks’s outlandish autobiography Mr Nice, Shamima Begum’s controversial Times interview, Prince Andrew’s disastrous Newsnight appearance and Myra Hindley’s unpublished prison letters.
Jennifer explores the multitude of factors (such as gender, class, race) that shape how stories are told and heard and expplains how difficult it can be for the 'truth' to come out as she invites us to think differently about the abundance of personal stories about crime that circulate in public life.
