Dennis Lehane fans - the drought is over...
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 08:30 AM by Richardo


"Coronado", a collection of short stories (and a 2-act play), was released this week. Got a copy last night and started the opening story "Running Out of Dog" immediately. Great so far. :bounce:

It's been 3 years since "Shutter Island" - Dennis needs to pick up the pace a bit :D

FROM B&N EDITORS"
One of our favorite writers, Dennis Lehane, slips the bonds of his Boston-based mysteries with a terrific collection of short fiction that reinforces his reputation as a "master of the new noir." The settings may be different (two stories are set south of the Mason-Dixon Line), but these works crackle with the same narrative tension that electrifies the Kenzie and Genarro detective series, as well as stand-alone thrillers like Mystic River. Included among the five short stories is a disturbing set piece called "Until Gwen," which the author has expanded into a two-act play that caps Coronado and gives the anthology its title. Here's proof (as if we needed it!) that Dennis Lehane's talents extend beyond genre fiction into the realm of bona fide literature.
