Join us for a lively presentation and conversation with Kemper Donovan, host of the All About Agatha podcast. We’ll explore the many incarnations, representations, and interpretations of Agatha Christie’s disappearance in pop culture: film, literature, theater, etc. Which versions seem plausible? Which ones are outlandish? We’ll discuss, evaluate, and even rank these interpretations with audience input.
All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course: the Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire, and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. She will be forever missed. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast’s ranking project, and continues to celebrate the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie–and Christie alone–endures as powerfully as she does.
This is part of a series of events commemorating the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s disappearance.
