Having come home after a performance at WorkShop Theater Company on West 36th Street the other night, and reading a recent, online crime article about an Indiana family who found human bones in their attic, I couldn't help but wonder what Edgar Allan Poe, the father of modern detective fiction, would make of the story. What, for instance, would be Poe's take on the whole Casey Anthony circus or other unsolved, high-profile crimes, particularly in the way these stories are being covered in our real-time, mass, multimedia world of Twitter and Facebook?
