We owe the headline to Len Lear of the Chestnut Hill Local, who did a nice write-up in advance of Louis Greenstein's appearance at Big Blue Marble Bookstore on August 7. Louis's novel Mr. Boardwalk will share the spotlight with Michael Koehler's new book of photographs taken at the Jersey shore just before Hurricane Sandy mashed the area.

The article offers a couple of  interesting quotes from Louis. On whether the protagonist, Jason Benson, is based on himself:

“He is a better juggler than I am, and I have a better marriage than he does. But there are a lot of similarities."
And on other writers who have influenced him:
“Philip Roth had a profound influence in terms of telling a story that embraces the age you live in … I admire emotional honesty, and I love a good story.”
