TU's Presidential Lecture Series Presents Novelist and Screenwriter Dennis Lehane

Aired on Thursday, September 29th.

On this installment of StudioTulsa, we offer a discussion with the widely acclaimed American writer Dennis Lehane, who's well-known for his bestselling novels in the crime/mystery/thriller genre, among them "Darkness, Take My Hand," "Sacred," "Gone Baby Gone," "Mystic River," "Shutter Island," "Live by Night," and "World Gone By." Lehane has also written for "The Wire" and "Boardwalk Empire," two popular TV series that aired in recent years on HBO, and several of his novels have been adapted into award-winning films. Tonight -- Thursday the 29th -- he'll deliver a free-to-the-public Presidential Lecture here on the TU campus. This event will happen in the Reynolds Center, beginning at 7:30pm; a book signing will follow Lehane's talk. (TU's Presidential Lecture Series is sponsored by the Darcy O'Brien Endowed Chair and supported by the Office of the Provost.)
