Published: March 27, 2023, 1 a.m.

Chair: Sue Turnbull

\n

V. I. Warshawski is a private investigator with a forensic interest in white collar crime who loves opera, dresses down, runs whenever she can, and has a passion for her two dogs. She is Sara Paretsky\u2019s finest invention \u2013 a character of depth and complexity. Over the course of more than 20 novels, Paretsky\u2019s depiction of V.I. has offered readers an alternative to the \u2019hardboiled dick\u2019 and radically transformed the detective fiction genre. Paretsky remembers V.I. and reflects on why social justice matters.
