Martin Cruz Smith, best-selling author of ‘Gorky Park,' dies at 82
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up By the time he wrote 'Gorky Park' (1981), Mr. Smith had spent years toiling in obscurity, churning out paperback westerns, thrillers, and suspense novels, most of them written under pseudonyms like Jake Logan and Simon Quinn. There were times, he said, when he could 'only be accurately described as a schlockmeister.' How else to account for novels like 'North to Dakota,' which 'started off,' he remembered, 'with the hero strangling a chimpanzee'? Advertisement In those days, Mr. Smith usually took six to eight weeks to finish a novel. But when he slowed down, as he did with 'Gorky Park,' he wrote with a far more elegant and refined voice, crafting books that were admired for their psychological acuity, literary sophistication, and rich depiction of faraway cultures (Russia's, in particular) that few Americans knew firsthand. Advertisement The culmination of about eight years of work, 'Gorky Park' was acclaimed as a masterpiece of the crime genre, impressing critics with its shrewd and incorruptible protagonist - a Russian Sam Spade - and its carefully drawn portrait of Soviet-era Moscow. The book 'reminds you just how satisfying a smoothly turned thriller can be,' wrote New York Times reviewer Peter Andrews. In The Washington Post, former Moscow correspondent Peter Osnos declared that 'Gorky Park' 'is to ordinary suspense stories what John le Carré is to spy novels. The action is gritty, the plot complicated, the overriding quality is intelligence.' In broad strokes, the novel followed the contours of a classic work of crime fiction. A hard-bitten police investigator, Renko, is enlisted to solve a triple murder, with three mutilated bodies found in Moscow's Gorky Park. The victims were shot at close range and had their finger tips and faces sliced off, concealing their identities. The case took Renko around the world (including to Staten Island), even as Moscow remained the book's gravitational center. For many critics, Mr. Smith's signature achievement was the way he conjured Russian society on the page, writing about apparatchiks and propagandists, the merits of vodka (there are two kinds, 'good and very good'), and the relationship between ordinary street detectives and their counterparts in the KGB. Improbably, Mr. Smith spent no more than two weeks in the country in 1973. (Mr. Smith was denied a visa when he attempted to return.) He spoke no Russian and had no interpreter, although he took voluminous notes and made sketches of the sort of people and places he planned to write about. Advertisement 'More perhaps than any other recent work of American fiction,' Osnos wrote, 'this one conveys a feeling for the Soviet Union, its capital, its moods and its people. … I spent weeks hanging around Soviet courtrooms and in Smith's portrayals, I smell the musty aroma; I can see the faces; I can hear the voices.' The novel won the Gold Dagger, a top honor from the Crime Writers' Association of Britain, and was adapted into a 1983 Hollywood movie starring William Hurt as Renko. 'I thought it was dreadful,' Mr. Smith said of the film. In the Soviet Union, authorities condemned the novel in spite of its heroic Russian protagonist. The book was banned, although it found an audience thanks to dissidents and intellectuals who managed to distribute copies underground. 'Even scientist and academician Andrei Sakharov was a big fan,' said Alex Levin, a Russian émigré who helped Mr. Smith with his research, in a 2005 interview with the Guardian. Mr. Smith, a former journalist, said that he was driven by a desire to find out 'what is happening in the Soviet Union.' His subsequent Renko novels used history as a backdrop, following the detective through the Soviet Union's collapse (in 'Red Square'), the Chechen War ('Stalin's Ghost'), and Russia's invasion of Ukraine ('Hotel Ukraine'). Other installments invoked the Chernobyl nuclear disaster ('Wolves Eat Dogs') and took inspiration from the 2006 assassination of Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian investigative journalist ('Tatiana'). To research the books, Mr. Smith made return trips to Russia, traveled to Ukraine and Cuba, and spent three weeks aboard a Soviet factory ship in the Bering Sea. He was kicked off, he said, after the ship's political officer located his name in a Soviet list of 'foreign agents provocateurs to avoid.' Advertisement Mr. Smith went on to spend what he described as an 'endless' week on an American trawler, 'looking at the fog.' Still, he was happy to be conducting research in-person, later saying: 'There are things you experience that are so basic that people just don't tell you. It's a little bit like people telling you about going to sea - nobody bothers to tell you that it is salty. They always overlook the details.' The second of three children, Martin William Smith was born in Reading, Pa., on Nov. 3, 1942. He adopted his pseudonym, incorporating his maternal grandmother's name, Cruz, after realizing there were a half-dozen other 'Martin Smiths' trying to get published. His father, who came from a Scottish Episcopal family, was a jazz saxophonist and photographer. His mother, a descendant of Pueblo and Yaqui Indians, was a former beauty queen and a nightclub singer, once billed as 'Princess Louisa, the All-American Songbird.' The family moved frequently before settling outside Philadelphia, where his father found a job at the Budd Co., a metal fabricator. Mr. Smith, who was known as Bill, was educated at the nearby Germantown Academy. He was a poor student, in his telling, barely making it in to the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied sociology before failing a statistics paper and switching to creative writing. After graduating in 1964, he spent a few years in journalism, with jobs at the Associated Press, a local television station, and the Philadelphia Daily News. He also had a brief stint editing For Men Only, a New York-based magazine that taught him the importance of brevity. Advertisement 'We wasted no words getting someone through a door; we couldn't fool around with Henry Jamesian language,' he told the Guardian. By 1970, Mr. Smith had started writing novels, including a work of speculative fiction, 'The Indians Won,' that imagined the existence of a Native American state in the center of America. His other books included a series of thrillers about a Vatican hit man who, after dispatching his victims, dutifully goes to confession. After reading a Newsweek article about Soviet forensic scientists working to re-create the faces of murder victims, Mr. Smith began work on 'Gorky Park.' The book was pitched to his publisher as a team-up story, featuring mismatched Soviet and American detectives who work together on a case. But after his trip to Moscow, Mr. Smith decided to focus on the Russian and effectively dropped the American, to his publisher's dismay. He spent years working to buy back the rights to the book, which he later resold to Random House in a reported $1 million deal. In the interim, he was supported by the proceeds from his 1977 novel 'Nightwing,' a supernatural thriller involving vampire bats and Hopi Native American lore. Mr. Smith married one of his college classmates, Emily Arnold, in 1968. 'She was his first reader,' his children said in a statement, 'and his moral touchstone.' In addition to his wife, he leaves three children, Nell Branco, Luisa Smith, and Sam Smith; a brother; and five grandchildren. Mr. Smith was a two-time winner of the Hammett Prize for crime fiction, awarded for his Victorian-era thriller 'Rose' (1996), which he set in the mining country around Wigan, England, and 'Havana Bay' (1999), in which Renko tracks a killer in Cuba. In 2019, he received the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Advertisement 'By looking at the underworld you see how mainstream society works,' he told the Guardian, discussing his love of crime fiction. 'You can travel through a social fracture and, for a limited amount of time, you can behave differently and ask whatever embarrassing questions you like.'

Canada's largest outdoor festival hit with lawsuit over music licensing fees
OTTAWA – As Avril Lavigne was about to take the stage at the Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ) last week, many other Canadian artists were no doubt wondering why the organizers of Canada's largest outdoor music festival had to go make things so complicated for them. The FEQ began on July 3 — just as it was being hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit from the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), National Post has learned. The not-for-profit group, which is responsible for granting licences and collecting royalties on licensed music in Canada, claims in the lawsuit filed in Federal Court that since at least July 2022 the festival's organizers 'have failed to obtain a license from SOCAN and have not paid any royalties or submitted any report forms to SOCAN.' The Festival International d'été de Québec Inc. and Bleufeu, another organizer, are named as the defendants. The festival is still ongoing and will conclude on Sunday. Many Canadian and international artists are there this year, including Rod Stewart and Shania Twain. It attracts over a million visitors each year, and receives public funding, while earning millions in revenue. SOCAN represents more than 200,000 Canadian songwriters, composers, and music publishers, as well as millions of rights holders through a network of over 100 collective societies in over 200 countries. One of them is the Montreal-based rock band Half Moon Run. Its members said they were thrilled to be the final act of the FEQ in 2022. In fact, they thought it was going to be 'the show of (their) lives.' While the show was a success, the aftermath may have been less thrilling: The group is one of 11 artists named in the SOCAN lawsuit as those allegedly impacted by the festival's non-payment. Other artists named include Walk Off the Earth, pianist Alexandra Streliski, Beyries, Tokyo Police Club, Les Trois Accords and Karkwa. 'The full extent of the Defendants' wrongful acts and infringements is not known by SOCAN but is within the knowledge of the Defendants. SOCAN will seek relief in respect of all such activities,' reads the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, despite SOCAN's notice, both organizations have 'persisted in organizing, producing and promoting the FEQ Festival, and have, by their actions, sanctioned, approved and countenanced the performances of SOCAN Musical Works' contrary to the Copyright Act. The FEQ festival organizers issued a statement Saturday afternoon, a day after the lawsuit was reported, saying they 'regret that SOCAN has chosen to file legal proceedings in the middle of the Festival.' 'This action raises questions about the timing and motivations. Furthermore, proceeding in English, in the context of a Quebec cultural event, seems inappropriate and disconnected from the reality of the environment,' reads the statement sent by Véronique Bouillé, a spokesperson for Bleufeu. In their statement, the organizers claim that under their mission and legal status, they are exempted from the payment of royalties payable to authors, composers and publishers under the Copyright Act. 'The FEQ considers this approach all the more regrettable as it has always shown active and constant support for artists and artisans, who remain at the heart of its raison d'être,' the statement said. In an email to the Post, SOCAN's legal advisor Julia Werneburg wrote that her organization is 'deeply concerned' with that justification. 'Although the Festival d'été de Québec is a registered charity, the performances it presents are virtually identical to those of its for-profit competitors, and Canadian law requires the payment of licensing fees for these performances,' she said. 'Failing to pay royalties to music creators and their publishers weakens the foundations of the music industry.' The FEQ is considered an institution in Quebec. Each year, it presents an impressive program of international artists on the famous Plains of Abraham, a historic space in Quebec City's Battlefields Park. On Friday, the federal government announced a total of $1.75 million in financial support to the organizers, including a non-repayable contribution of $1.2 million to 'engage in promotional activities internationally, to renew its brand image and to develop new products to enhance festivalgoers' experience' for this year and next year's editions. 'Our government is proud to support this artistic effervescence and to contribute to the success of an event that really brings people together,' said Heritage minister Steven Guilbeault in a statement announcing the funding. Ottawa also granted the FEQ $550,000 through Canadian Heritage's Canada Arts Presentation Fund for its program. Guilbeault's office declined to comment on the lawsuit as the matter is before the court.

Madonna's Long-Lost Song Hits No. 1
Madonna's 'Gone Gone Gone' debuts at No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart as fans eagerly await her ... More upcoming remix EP Veronica Electronica. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Madonna attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/MG25/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) In two weeks, Madonna will release a new remix album titled Veronica Electronica. The project serves as something of a companion piece to Ray of Light, which is widely regarded as one of the pop superstar's most critically-acclaimed efforts. Another new single has already been pushed from the set, and it has quickly become a bestseller in the United States. 'Gone Gone Gone' Opens at No. 1 'Gone Gone Gone' currently sits at No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart this Friday (July 11). The track is credited as the original demo version of the tune. The Madonna cut beats several new releases from major players in the music industry, at least early in the day at the beginning of a new tracking frame. Madonna Beats Blackpink, MGK and Babymetal As of the time of writing, eight of the spots inside the top 10 on the iTunes Top Songs tally are filled with new arrivals. That roundup includes just-shared tunes from groups like Deftones, Halestorm, Babymetal, and Blackpink, as well as singer-songwriters like Jessie Murph, Max McNown, and MGK (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly). Madonna surpasses all of them with 'Gone Gone Gone,' although the ranking could change as Friday progresses. Veronica Electronica is Coming Soon Veronica Electronica is largely composed of remixes of some of the most popular songs featured on Ray of Light, such as the title track, 'Nothing Really Matters,' and 'Frozen,' among others. 'Gone Gone Gone' is the only previously unreleased tune, though the cut did leak onto the internet some time ago, so superfans are already familiar with the composition, even if they haven't been able to own it legally until now. 'Gone Gone Gone' Follows the 'Skin' Remix 'Gone Gone Gone' follows the release of 'Skin,' the first single from Veronica Electronica. That reworking — called the Collaboration Remix Edit — dropped on June 5. Now, fans only need to wait until July 25 to get their hands on the complete EP.
