National Writers Series: An Evening with Lee Child

NOTE: TV-MA (Language) Author Lee Child is in conversation onstage at the City Opera House with New York Times bestselling author and host Doug Stanton for a fascinating discussion on his life and work, including the eagerly anticipated new novel, A Wanted Man (published September 2012).
Child has become an international sensation and regular fixture atop the New York Times bestsellers list. He is published in ninety-five countries and in forty languages, with more than thirteen million books in print in the United States.
His hero, Jack Reacher, finds himself in all kinds of interesting jams, which Reacher handles with a wary eye, dry humor and good manners. Lee's spare, musical prose is unstoppable -- once you start a Reacher novel, you finish that night.
Called "the best thriller writer in the business" by The Boston Globe, Lee is looking forward to none other than Tom Cruise depicting Jack Reacher in the Paramount film series, launching 2012.

Thank you for posting this interview. I am a big Lee Childs fan and the Jack Reacher Series in particular. Lee Childs never disappoints. When I begin reading one of his novels, I keep turning the pages until I finish it. They are simply impossible to put down.

This is a genuinely great interview with Lee Child. These one hour and forty-seven minutes are a treat. Thank you to 'UpNorthTV97' channel.

Glad you finally cleared up the "Tom Cruise issue"...wish people would let it go.

[@RODERICKMOLASAR]

They supposedly couldn't find a very tall actor with the chops to pull it off. Personally I think it was more about box office draw than anything else.

Lee may be looking forward to Tom Cruise depicting Reacher, but I'm not, and neither are many Reacher/Lee Childs fans aren't. I shalln't be watching to movies.

Still trying to justify using Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher. don't buy what your'e selling Lee.
