Trained as a cultural and intellectual historian of postwar Europe, Lisa Lieberman abandoned a perfectly respectable academic career for the life of a vicarious adventurer through perilous times. She has published essays, translations, short stories and film criticism in Gettysburg Review, Raritan, Michigan Quarterly, Mystery Scene and 3 Quarks Daily. Her most recent essay, “Asian Exotica: The Far East in Film Noir,” was selected for Noir City Annual, the best of the Film Noir Foundation’s quarterly e-magazine. On the lighter side, Lisa writes the Cara Walden series of historical mysteries based on old movies and featuring blacklisted Hollywood people on the lam in dangerous international locales.
