In anticipation of our May 7 discussion of John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, I wanted to share this item from a July 2024 edition of Washington Post book critic Ron Charles' weekly Book Club newsletter (free to join even if you're not a Post subscriber, and highly recommended).
“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” a musical adaptation of John Berendt’s true-crime book, is playing at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago through Aug. 11 (tickets). Back in 1994, before 18 gazillion people had read this story of Savannah murder, the Washington Post’s Jonathan Yardley called it “a surprising, wonderful book” (rave). And during the covid-19 pandemic, the Post’s Michael Dirda included “Midnight” on his short list of books for when “you decide to chuck the modern world and retreat to a cabin in the woods” (full list).
