Paul Theroux! Dennis Lehane! Billy Collins! Whoa! This week brings us a lot of big names with local connections. Bask in the Massachusetts-centered literariness while it lasts, before everybody goes back to Brooklyn.
It's back to school, and back to the books. September is brimming with book events, from this week's sold-out Junot Diaz production to Dennis Lehane to Billy Collins and more.
