WRITERS: THICK

Remember us posting about the French author Mazarine Pingeot, who wrote a novel with more than a passing resemblance to an open case? Distasteful, perhaps, but Pingeot just isn’t going far enough to shock.

Polish pulp writer Krystian Bala, on the other hand, has just been sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in the abduction, torture and murder of his wife’s alleged lover, which he then recounted in suspiciously perfect detail in his next thriller. Like, duh.

Still, if it’s good enough for OJ Simpson…
