Welcome back to the stacks. My name is Tracy Thomas and I am your host here.

This week on the Stacks we are discussing Maureen Orths' True Crime Book,

Vulgar Favors, the assassination of Johnny Versace. Before we get started, I just want to remind all of you to subscribe to the Stacks wherever you get your

podcasts and if you listen to us through iTunes we would greatly appreciate any

rating or review you give.

On today's episode of the Stacks, Broadway choreographer Sam Pinkleton is back.

We discuss Maureen Orth's book, Vulgar Favors, The Assass assassination of Johnny Versace. This book tells the

story of serial killer Andrew Kunannanin, his life, his murders, and the death of

course of Johnny Versace. Sam and I discuss this book, The Crimes, but also we discuss the overall tone of this book.

We look at the idea of gay crime and why that term and so much more of this book is more than

a little problematic.

There are spoilers this week, but since this book comes from true crime, there really isn't much

for us to spoil.

It happened in 1997, so the details are very much out there.

Everything Zam and I discuss this week will also be found in the show notes.

You can feel free to listen and then go back and check out some of the articles and books that are relevant.

Okay, I'm done blabbing your air off. It is time for my conversation

with Sam Pinkleton on The Stacks Book Club. So thank you guys so much and I hope you enjoy. Hi everybody and welcome back to the stacks.

It is I, your host, Tracy Thomas.

And I am joined again by choreographer and director Sam Pinkleton.

And this week we are doing our Sacks Book Club conversation about Maureen Oarth's book, Vulgar Favors, the assassination of

Gianni Versace. Hi Sam, welcome back. Hi Tracy, thanks for having me.
