Meet a Celebrity Author: George Pelecanos at Busboys & Poets on 14th St NW - Sept 10, 6:30pm

George-p

George Pelecanos will discuss and sign his new title "The Way Home". How far will a father go to save his son? That question is the beating pulse beneath George Pelecanos's spectacular new novel. With the drama, compassion, and urgency for which Pelecanos is celebrated, The Way Home travels the streets of Washington, D.C. and tells the story of its people, and the tensions that always linger just out of sight, circling back again and again to that clapboard house on Livingston Street where characters Thomas and Chris Flynn's rocky relationship moves from distrust and scorn toward a flawed, but real, redemption. He will also be discussing the late Don Carpenter's first novel, "Hard Rain Falling", which has just been re-released. In his introduction to this crime novel, Pelecanos calls it a "damning indictment of our justice system that is still relevant today." --- Free and open to all!
