Earlier this week screenwriter/novelist David Benioff dropped by Harry W. Schwartz on Downer to read from his new novel City of Thieves.
The new novel deals with the Fall of Leningrad, Nazis, war ravaged Russia, the stories grandfathers tell, and an impossible mission. I’ve only just begun it, but Benioff’s prose is absorbing and it’s a hard book to put down.
Having loved the 25th Hour, I found that with David Benioff’s work, you don’t read it in short spurts only to eventually get to the ending. Instead there’s lots of time well spent, engrossed, and eagerly awaiting to return to the pages when torn away.
Here’s audio from Benioff’s reading at Schwartz’s.
