Week 6: Prezi

Prezi--wow!  A lot of work describing a lot of subgenres!  Very useful!    (Awkward to zoom in and out, but very clever.)

Finally I think I have a much better understanding of thriller categories--complete with author names.
Techno--Clancy
Legal--Grisham or Defending Jacob
Espionage--classic--LeCarre, Furst
                 --modern political terrorism--Flynn
Medical--Palmer, Crichton
Cipher--D'Amato
Exotic- Cussler

I learned a lot about the divisions of urban fiction and romance.  And even science fiction.

Lots of mystery subgenres, but they left out my favorite--the classic old fashioned mysteries--Allingham, Tey, and Sayers!  And where would they put Maisie Dobbs and Laurie King and No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency?!

What about LGBT subgenres--romance, fantasy, teen, etc.?
