Crime fiction author’s books moved after body found
Now they’ll be located in true crime as the Polish author, Krystian Bala, has been arrested for detailing a murder he committed in his ‘fictional’ crime novel Amok, which as of yet hasn’t been translated into English, but seeing as If I Did it is currently well up into the top 200 sellers on amazon.com while, say, Kurt Vonnegut’s last book, A Man Without a Country isn’t even in the top 7,750 books, lame, I have no doubt that some ambitious, but perhaps callous editor has already started the translation process to cash in on the controversy. Anyway, here’s the news story, with the somewhat cliche title Truth stranger than fiction as author jailed, when it’s really not that strange, if you’ve read, Aimee Bender’s The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, but yeah, there it is for ya. People are still trying to write about their own crimes and not catch any suspicion or trouble from it.
