Dennis Lehane on the Boston Marathon Attack

If you're like me, you're an avid Dennis Lehane fan. He writes beautifully, his plots are terrific, and he captures the essence of the people of Boston with great insight and clarity. I know the people he writes about, or people a lot like them. They make you think, and they make you laugh. Sometimes they make you proud.

After the horror in Boston on April 15th, Lehane wrote a terrific essay for the New York Times to describe the reaction of the city to the attack and the commitment to do what needed to be done. In the days that followed, the people of Boston did just that.

Read Lehane's essay. It's excellent.
