Lina Chern, the Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of Play the Fool, is here this week to discuss psychics solving crime, predestination and tarot onscreen, and the beauty of free will on film in Minority Report, The Dead Zone, The Gift, and Three Colors: Red. Her delightful sequel to Fool, Tricks of Fortune, was released over the summer, and we did a full-length video interview about the book, her writing, and our taste in pop culture, which you can see on the Poisoned Pen Bookstore YouTube Channel.
