Dennis Lehane
On its 25th anniversary, the Miami Book Fair International is just that -- drawing authors from around the world as varied and well respected as Salman Rushdie and Frank McCourt.
Saturday morning's marquee session, however, felt more like a hometown celebration, bringing together three of the most successful products of Florida International University's creative writing program.
Dennis Lehane -- author of Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone -- was the biggest star of the bunch
The Miami Book Fair may be, uh, in the books, but it's also on the YouTubes. CSPAN, everyone's favorite must-watch cable channel, aired some sessions from the fair, and CSPAN Junkie collected them for your viewing pleasure.
