Overview
Harvey FiersteināsĀ legendaryĀ career has transportedĀ him fromĀ community theater in Brooklyn, to the lights ofĀ Broadway, toĀ the absurd excessesĀ ofĀ HollywoodĀ and back. Heās received accolades and awards for acting in and/or writing an incredible string of hit plays, films, and TV shows: Hairspray,Ā Ā Fiddler on the Roof, Mrs. Doubtfire, Independence Day, Cheers,Ā La Cage Aux Folles,Ā Torch Song Trilogy, Newsies, and Kinky Boots.Ā WhileĀ he hasĀ never shied away from the spotlight, Mr. Fierstein says that even those closest to him have never heard most of the talesāof personal struggles and conflict, of sex and romance, of his fabled careerārevealed in these wildly entertaining pages.
Ā
I Was Better Last Night bares the inner life of this eccentric nonconforming childĀ from his rootsĀ 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 decadesĀ of addiction, despair, and ultimate triumph.
Ā
Mr. FiersteināsĀ candid recollections provideĀ a richĀ windowĀ into downtownĀ New York City life,Ā gay culture, andĀ theĀ evolution of theater (of which he has been a defining figure),Ā as well asĀ a moving account of his familyās journey of acceptance. I Was Better Last Night is filled with wisdom gained,Ā mistakes made, and stories that come together to describe an astonishingly colorful and meaningfulĀ life. Lucky for us all, his unique and recognizable voice is as engaging, outrageouslyĀ funny, and vulnerable on the page.Ā Ā
