Lehane also talks his newest novel 'Since We Fell,' a story he says will likely to be turned into a film, and reveals what type of fiction thriller he'll tackle next.

This dude is outrageously underrated. He doesn't do a lot of interviews it seems. His books are legit literature. He grabs you and holds you for the entire book.
Just started A Drink Before the War and agree. I have a hard time getting into books these days but this one is such an easy read. I'll probably read the others in the series as well after this.
agreed
One of my favorite authors, he's terrific.
Agreed. He writes with such depth.
I read Shutter Island and then The Drop. Lehane is a brilliant author. Starting Live by Night now ....
Just started getting into this guy. He’s brilliant.
Favorite author, favorite on screen journalist, rip Larry King you will be missed
I greatly admire him!
I don't understand the hate for Dennis Lehanne and the critism of his writing style as being "sub-par". I read a few of his novels and I quite like them.
He writes the best book dialogue.
Easily my favorite author. You seem like such a real guy. My favorite was The Given Day. Please do a novel set during WW2.
The Given Day blew my mind, it was so amazing!
Was just watching CBS Saturday morning and saw the Book Small Mercies on their background set. Gonna check it out.
This book as a Movie is completely A Masterpiece
RIP Larry
Killers of the flower moon ? Was that the book he was talking about do you think ?
The drop
hi larry :D
Made Larry laugh quite a few times... Sneaky ending to Shutter Island
imagine the same from those targetted.
bad writer, really doesn't have it. you only need to read one page to know he's not a real writer.
What the hell are you talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Someone should tell Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese that Steve Eastwoofer has spoken...
@@jtruax7 I do like his stories as they translate to film, but that doesn't make him a good writer. Here's the beginning of Mystic River,
"WHEN SEAN DEVINE and Jimmy Marcus were kids, their fathers worked together at the Coleman Candy plant and carried the stench of warm chocolate back home with them. It became a permanent character of their clothes, the beds they slept in, the vinyl backs of their car seats. Sean's kitchen smelled like a Fudgsicle, his bathroom like a Coleman Chew-Chew bar. By the time they were eleven, Sean and Jimmy had developed a hatred of sweets so total that they took their coffee black for the rest of their lives and never ate dessert."
That's dull artless writing with a blank aesthetic and no sense or ability to control or create the music of real writing. Fine journalism rises above this.
steve eastwoofer i guess we can agree to disagree. I’m not saying he’s the most lyrical prose creator of his generation but neither was Steinbeck and they both are always engaging. I guess my question would be what writers do you think are above the bar?
steve eastwoofer or better yet who would fit in the criteria of a real writer?
