The Herald, natch, loves it some schadenfreude over a spat between Dennis Lehane and the Globe over a review - which the Globe corrected - that originally took Lehane to task for portraying a character in a new book as a magical Negro, when, in fact, the character is white.
The Globe's Andrew Ryan tweets Mayor Menino has named the writer to the Boston Public Library board of trustees.
Matt reports on Dennis Lehane's book reading/signing in Coolidge Corner last night.
That's the headline on the Times review of Dennis Lehane's latest novel, The Given Day, which manages to connect the 1919 Boston police strike with Babe Ruth (also, anarchists are involved, however, the Times doesn't mention if the Great Molasses Flood plays a role, although that was falsely blamed on Italian anarchists, not the Irish ones Lehane wrote about).
Via Jay Fitzgerald, who says he now can't wait to read the book.
