The new novel superficially resembles Dennis Lehane's brilliant novel "Mystic River" (2001), in that both explore the lifelong consequences of one brief moment of childhood violence. But "Mystic River" is a savage book. Pelecanos tells a gentler story, his view of human nature more hopeful. ...

For Dennis Lehane fans the long two years' wait is over. His new book, The Given Day , will be released September 23. Go ahead and get a jump on the competition and reserve it in advance . Set in Boston at the end of the First World War, New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane's long-awaited eighth novel unflinchingly captures the political and social unrest of a nation caught at the crossroads between past and future. The Given Day tells the story of two families—one black, one white—swept up in a maelstrom of revolutionaries and anarchists, immigrants and ward bosses, Brahmins and ordinary citizens, all engaged in a battle for survival and power. Here, too, are some of the most influential figures of the era—Babe Ruth; Eugene O'Neill; leftist activist Jack Reed; NAACP founder W. E. B. DuBois; Mitchell Palmer, Woodrow Wilson's ruthless Red-chasing attorney general; cunning Massachusetts governor Calvin Coolidge; and an ambitious young Department of Justice lawyer named John Hoover. Coursing through some of the pivotal events of the time—including the Spanish Influenza pandemic—and culminating in the Boston Police Strike of 1919, The Given Day explores the crippling violence and irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the thrall of, itself. As Danny, Luther, and those around them struggle to define themselves in increasingly turbulent times, they gradually find family in one another and, together, ride a risin ...

Summer of '36 Another Opening of Another Show "When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936 different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. We got our first wireless set that summer-- well, a sort of a set; and it obsessed us. And because it arrived as August was about to begin, my Aunt Maggie-- she was the joker of the family-- she suggested we give it a name. She wanted to call it Lugh after the old Celtic God of the Harvest. Because in the old days August the First was La Lughnasa , the feast day of the pagan god, Lugh; and the days and weeks of harvesting that followed were called the Festival of Lughnasa." -- Michael in the play "Dancing at Lughnasa" From the film "Contact"-- Jodie Foster and the opening of the 1936 Olympics "Heraclitus.... says: 'The ruler whose prophecy occurs at Delphi oute legei oute kryptei , neither gathers nor hides, alla semainei , but gives hints.'" -- An Introduction to Metaphysics , by Martin Heidegger , Yale University Press paperback, 1959, p. 170 ...

A blog I wrote a week or so ago about the 2008 Shamus nominees caused a bit of a controversy. It's not that the nominees aren't deserving and you can see the list here and my blog here . It's that the nominees for best novel and best first novel didn't include any women authors. Women authors are represented in the paperback original (which, to me, is a big category) and the short story category. Cornelia Reed , whose short story is nominated this year, is at right. The Shamus will be awarded Oct. 10 in Baltimore. Details are here . But the fact that there are no women nominated for best novel or best first caused a bit of discussion. So I thought I would stir the pot even more! The Shamus is given by the Private Eye Writers of America (PWA ) which was founded in 1981 by Robert J. Randisi "to recognize the private eye genre and its writers." And the Shamus has done just that. Previous Shamus winners include Lawrence Block, Ken Bruen, Harlan Coben, Max Allan Collins, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, O’Neil deNoux, Brendan DuBois, Loren D. Estleman, Carolina Garcia-Aguilera, Sue Grafton, James W. Hall, Steve Hamilton, Jeremiah Healy, Dennis Lehane, Laura Lippman, John Lutz, Bill Pronzini, S.J. Rozan , right, P.J. Parrish, Carolyn Wheat and more. Quite a list, huh? A source also pointed out the number of times women have won and they include 92: Nancy Pickard short story 93 Marele Day Paperback original 95 Sue Grafton best novel 96 S.J. R ...
‘ La noche es nuestra ’ Pese a la disparidad de criterios y los abucheos recibidos, seguramente estamos ante uno de los mejores estrenos de la temporada. Negrísima obra de James Gray en la que el personaje que interpreta Joaquin Phoenix, grande, tiene que decidir entre su familia genética, donde el padre y el hermano son policías, y la familia que ha elegido, para la que trabaja y que se encuentra al margen de la ley. Thriller que bien justifica varios visionados. El DVD viene con un problema importante: no tiene extras, lo cual es una pena. ‘ Adiós, pequeña, adiós ’ Sorprendente debut como director del actor Ben Affleck, con una historia con mucha similitudes con la del famoso caso de Madeleine, la niña inglesa desaparecida hace ya mucho tiempo en Portugal. Basada en una novela del autor de Mystic River, Dennis Lehane, cuenta la historia de la pequeña Amanda McCready, de 4 años, que ha desaparecido sin dejar huella. La policía no ha conseguido ni una sola pista, así que los desesperados tíos de Amanda suplican a los investigadores privados Patrick Kenzie y Angie Genarro que acepten el caso, aunque tienen serias dudas sobre si deben hacerlo. La interpretación Casey Affleck es sorprendente, dentro de una notable película. Interesantes extras, donde encontramos un final ampliado, una versión con audio comentario del director y guionista, así como un audio comentario de las escenas eliminadas (datos que nos permite conocer mejor las ...
