Description
ARMISTEAD MAUPINtalk & booksigning for "The Berlin Stories"
Wednesday, October 8 at 7:30 pm
As one of the most widely read books of its time, Christopher Isherwood’s "The Berlin Stories" inspired a Broadway musical and an Oscar-winning film, Cabaret. Now, a new edition of this classic of 20th-century fiction has been issued featuring an introduction by Armistead Maupin, the much loved San Francisco writer who not only knew Isherwood but drew inspiration for his acclaimed Tales of the City series from "The Berlin Stories." Don’t miss this special evening.
Armistead Maupin first met Christopher Isherwood in 1978. His 1985 interview with Isherwood, published in the Village Voice, was the last before the author's death. Maupin is the author of nine novels, including the six-volume Tales of the City series, "Maybe the Moon," "The Night Listener "and, most recently, "Michael Tolliver Lives." Three miniseries were made from the first three novels in the Tales series.
