Lippman has been called one of the "essential" crime novelists of the past 100 years, with 24 books published in 30 languages. She will speak about the writing life and her forthcoming book of essays, My Life As a Villainess. A former journalist, Lippman continues to write for numerous publications, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Real Simple, New York Magazine, and Glamour.com.
