Lee Child | The Affair - Free Library Podcast
http://libwww.freelibrary.org/podcast/index.cfm?podcastID=687
Recorded 10/3/2011 Listen to MP3 audio
Bestselling thriller writer Lee Child’s 1997 debut novel Killing Floor, starring tough but humane maverick Jack Reacher, was an immediate success, winning the mystery writer’s Anthony Award and launching an electrifying series. “Until Reacher runs low on grit, make-my-day wisecracks and loner mystique, he will be one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape,” writes Janet Maslin in the New York Times. Selling globally at a rate of one every five seconds, the success of these books rests partly on the hulking shoulders of their charismatic hero, but also on Child steadily cranking out at least one tight, spellbinding book per year. The sixteeenth in the series, The Affair takes place six months before the events of Killing Floor.

Ayn Rand and the World She Made
Anne C. Heller discusses her new book Ayn Rand and the World She Made, a biography of the author and philosopher best known for the novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, on Tuesday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Utilizing extensive research done in Russia, dozens of interviews with Rand’s acquaintances and former acolytes, and previously unexamined archives of tapes and letters, Heller traces Rand’s life from her childhood in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution to her years as a screenwriter in Hollywood to the publication of her novels and the rise and fall of the cult that formed around her in the 1950s and ’60s.
