Description: PULP NONFICTION A reading from True Crime pioneer Edmund Pearson - True crime history is not just about reviving the stories of America's scandals, scoundrels and scourges, but also about exploring the history of true crime as a genre. - Edmund Pearson was an early pioneer in true crime writing. A librarian by trade, he came to prominence as an author through his essay on the Lizzie Borden case included in his 1924 book, Studies in Murder. In 1928, Pearson wrote a series of weekly columns for The St. Louis Post Dispatch. "The Embarrassments of Mr. Udderzook" is the first article in that series, a wry, often sarcastic look at a case of two murders wrapped around an insurance fraud and stuffed inside a case of arson that came to light in February, 1872.
