The LA-based writer says, ‘I was wondering if you could write something like [Cormac McCarthy’s] “Blood Meridian” or “No Country for Old Men” with female characters.’
Everyone found ways to stave off boredom during the early days of the pandemic — and many of us now have abandoned sourdough starters, unfinished jigsaw puzzles, and dusty birdwatching binoculars to show for it.’s “Sing Her Down,” published May 23 by MCD/Farrar, Straus & Giroux, is a product of the era that saw people around the world binging television or attending endless Zoom meetings.
Ivy Pochoda is the LA-based author of SING HER DOWN, a new thriller set in Los Angeles, and was photographed in her Village Green neighborhood on Sunday, May 21, 2023. Dios hates that Florida won’t take responsibility for the crime she committed, and is stalking her, determined to make her admit who she really is. Lobos, meanwhile, is dodging a stalker of her own: her estranged, abusive husband.
As a thought experiment, I was wondering if you could write something like [Cormac McCarthy’s] “Blood Meridian” or “No Country for Old Men” with female characters. And when I started talking to people about it, they said, “No, of course not, because women aren’t violent in the same way men are.” And I thought that was preposterous.
Dios acknowledges her anger as a powerful and positive force in her life, although she doesn’t do good things with it. Florida thinks she’s angry about her situation, how she wound up in jail. She feels like she’s the victim of circumstance and she’s angry about that, but really she’s angry about something else. She has a violence inside of her, but she refuses to acknowledge it. And she won’t acknowledge what the truth of the matter is.
