Morgue, Bambi’s Mom, Elmore

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and poet and undertaker Thomas Lynch talk about artists, writers, and moviemakers who explore the inevitable. We hear the case of a photographer who was sent to prison for taking pictures of corpses in the Cincinnati morgue. And a movie buff tells us how he came to terms with death through the films of Walt Disney. Plus: Elmore Leonard stops by to talk about the 1930s gangsters who inspired his latest book, The Hot Kid.
