AUTHOR IN SANTA FE AND ALBUQUERQUE

Kirk Ellis will talk about his new book “They Kill People” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb 3, at Collected Works in Santa Fe and 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, at Bookworks.

The book is subtitled “Bonnie and Clyde, A Hollywood Revolution, and America’s Obsession with Guns and Outlaws.”

“They Kill People” is about the making of the 1967 film “Bonnie and Clyde” and its sustained ability to shock and provoke today as it did when the film was first released.

The film is based on the criminals Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, who terrorized Depression-era Middle America, killing nearly a dozen lawmen before they were ambushed on a rural Louisiana road in 1934.

Ellis, who lives in Santa Fe, is a multiple Emmy-winning screenwriter of HBO’s “John Adams,” the Apple TV+ limited series “Franklin” and “Anne Frank: The Whole Story.”
