Written on Jun 30 2010This was a very informal discussion. Seemed like Dustin was not prepared with questions and looked for help from the audience. Very entertaining, somewhat informative, and definitely for fans of either. Lots of names were dropped.

Written on Jun 29 2010What I loved about this was the informalness of the the conversation: it seemed we were being invited into an intimate conversation between friends. Beginning with a frank and honest look at the difficulties of their respective childhoods that helped shape their creative expression, Turow and Hoffman then touched upon all kinds of topics that matter to live a life of dignity -- not just about a book, the creative process or how to "make it in a profession". I was not only stimulated and glad to have been witness to two extremely successful men talk ABOUT keystones of importance, but to DEMONSTRATE the honesty, courage and openeness that it takes to live a life with dignity. I was inspired and took many insights into my own life to have it work better. "Living the creative life" isn't just in the formalized arts venues after all.

Written on Jun 29 2010This was a rare opportunity to observe two great artists discuss their respective crafts. Particularly interesting were their comparisons between acting and writing. The discussion was filled with insights and personal stories that one rarely hears from artists of this stature. It was an unforgettable evening!

Written on Jun 29 2010Very enjoyable event. Not enough discussion about the book, "Innocent", and even Mr. Turow mentioned this at the beginning.

Written on Jun 29 2010Very enjoyable to see them. They were both ill-prepared for the event - but they raised money for a good cause.

Written on Jun 29 2010For a writer Scott Turow was not that interesting of a story teller and was vastly over shadowed by Dustin Hoffman for the majority of the event. There was plenty of opportunity for audience members to ask questions, which comes with its own set of rambling issues.

Description
Scott Turow’s new novel, Innocent, is a sequel to his first novel, Presumed Innocent. He is the author of eight bestselling works of fiction, and two nonfiction books that include One L, which describes his experience as a first-year law student. Turow’s books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, have sold more than twenty-five million copies worldwide, and have been adapted for film and television. He also frequently contributes essays and op-ed pieces to such publications as the New York Times, Washington Post,Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Playboy, and The Atlantic.
More than twenty years after Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto went head-to-head in the shattering murder trial of Presumed Innocent, the men are pitted against each other once again in a riveting psychological match. When Sabich, now over sixty years old and the chief judge of an appellate court, finds his wife, Barbara, dead under mysterious circumstances, Molto accuses him of murder for the second time, setting into motion a trial that is vintage Turow—the courtroom at its most taut and explosive.
With his characteristic insight into both the dark truths of the human psyche and the dense intricacies of the criminal justice system, Scott Turow proves once again that some books simply compel us to read late into the night, desperate to know who did it.
