NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A poignant and hilarious
memoir from the cultural icon, gay rights activist, and four-time Tony
Award–winning actor and playwright, revealing never-before-told stories
of his personal struggles and conflict, of sex and romance, and of his
fabled career
Harvey Fierstein’s legendary career has
transported him from community theater in Brooklyn, to the lights of
Broadway, to the absurd excesses of Hollywood and back. He’s received
accolades and awards for acting in and/or writing an incredible string
of hit plays, films, and TV shows: Hairspray, Fiddler on the Roof, Mrs. Doubtfire, Independence Day, Cheers, La Cage Aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy, Newsies, and Kinky Boots.
While he has never shied away from the spotlight, Mr. Fierstein says
that even those closest to him have never heard most of the tales—of
personal struggles and conflict, of sex and romance, of his fabled
career—revealed in these wildly entertaining pages.
I Was Better Last Night
bares the inner life of this eccentric nonconforming child from his
roots in 1952 Brooklyn, to the experimental worlds of Andy Warhol and
the Theatre of the Ridiculous, to the gay rights movements of the
seventies and the tumultuous AIDS crisis of the eighties, through
decades of addiction, despair, and ultimate triumph.
Mr.
Fierstein’s candid recollections provide a rich window into downtown New
York City life, gay culture, and the evolution of theater (of which he
has been a defining figure), as well as a moving account of his family’s
journey of acceptance. I Was Better Last Night is filled with
wisdom gained, mistakes made, and stories that come together to describe
an astonishingly colorful and meaningful life. Lucky for us all, his
unique and recognizable voice is as engaging, outrageously funny, and
vulnerable on the page.
