Don Winslow Returns With The Final Score and Crime 101 Film
In a candid profile, veteran crime writer Don Winslow discusses coming out of retirement to publish The Final Score, a six-story collection, and to see a film adaptation of his novella Crime 101 released on Feb. 13. He explains his ongoing anti-Trump activism, the evolution toward more redemption in his later work, and how his life in Southern California—married to Jean after a Kenya proposal—shaped his craft. The interview also covers his collaboration with Shane Salerno, the film’s cast (Hemsworth, Berry, Ruffalo, Nolte, Keoghan), and his belief that despair should be met with action and speaking out.
