we are closing out our delaware mini-module with sunburn by laura lippman, along with even more delaware facts. first, though, we sort through a meager list of musicians from the state. then, into sunburn, which is firmly set in delaware, even though belleville is not a real place. we talk about what makes it delaware, a solidarity among beach towns, and the story’s plot twists vs. its emotional twists. we discuss its “mystery of love,” its distinct lack of horniness, and how lippman’s page-turning writing ability compares to stephen king. egg writes in about the sweater curse. shreds exposes a bit of his own ignorance. we share some final thoughts about delaware.
