Chris Pavone joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss his latest thriller, THE DOORMAN, a Bookreporter Bets On selection that is being called a modern-day BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, which is spot-on. Chris talks about the book's setting, the Bohemia, which drew inspiration from the building where he now lives. He had long conversations with Johnny, one of the building's doormen, and shares what their friendship brought to the story.
The novel takes place over just a day, looking at the doorman and a couple of the building's personnel, as well as the occupants of two apartments in the Bohemia. Chris has a number of book ideas that he is noodling at any one time, but he explains how this one spoke to him to be written, and how he pivoted along the way. He also muses about New York City today, and how much has changed from when he was growing up in Brooklyn.
