Lehane, Greer, & Meloy
My favorite event at the Festival of the Book was Thursday night’s gala, featuring readings by Dennis Lehane, Andrew Sean Greer, and Maile Meloy, at the Wilma Theatre. I have never seen a more balanced bill than this one, and each reading came in exactly on time (a critical point for any reading, really, but especially for a triple bill). Lehane’s reading was tough, fast; Greer’s was funny, disarming; Meloy’s — grave, brilliant (I had forgotten how good she is!).
If you had a favorite event at the Festival, we’d love to hear about it. Feel free to comment.
