Best-selling author and attorney Scott Turow joins us to discuss SUSPECT, his newest thriller! No subject was taboo … we talk about sex positivity and shame. We address the multiple purposes for which people engage in sex. His characters aren’t just using sex for love, connection, need, honesty, or vulnerability, but also for selfish gratification, manipulation, power, and crime. We explore its beauty and darkness. We were awed by the truism that you can never see your own face … and how that ties into perception and identity. (Have you ever considered that we can see the face of every single human being in the world, except our own?) Is this why we crave acceptance and admiration? Who are we, really, in the eyes of others? Not surprisingly, we talk about the legal system and whether it’s equipped to handle the viral nature of information? Can it handle emerging technology that can produce deep fakes? Is the Court of public opinion more important than ever?
