Matt reports on Dennis Lehane's book reading/signing in Coolidge Corner last night.

'A Vision of Old Boston in All Its Angry Power'

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.
