San Diego author announced last year he's retiring from writing after completing this book trilogy next year
On Tuesday, Don Winslow’s latest novel, “City of Dreams,” will arrive in bookstores and San Diegans will get the first crack at hearing the bestselling author talk about the second book in his “The City” trilogy.
Winslow is a longtime San Diegan and he’ll celebrate his book’s release Tuesday evening at Warwick’s bookstore in La Jolla. Winslow is the celebrated author of 23 novels that include “The Force,” “The Kings of Cool” and “Isle of Joy.” His novel “Savages” was made into a movie by filmmaker Oliver Stone and his “Cartel” novels trilogy is being adapted into an FX series later this year. Earlier this month, news broke that Oscar nominee Austin Butler has been cast to play Danny Ryan in the film adaptation of “City on Fire,” the first book in Winslow’s “The City” trilogy.
Winslow recently talked about the new book, his passion for San Diego and his plans to retire from novel-writing after the final book in the trilogy, “City in Ruins,” is published next year.Congratulations on the success of “City on Fire.” Was it heartening to see the first book of this long-gestating project so well received by both readers and critics?Thank you.
