SUMMARY:Christopher Tradowsky’s MIDNIGHT AT THE CINEMA PALACE
DESCRIPTION:Content welcomes Christopher Tradowsky for a reading from his new novel MIDNIGHT AT THE CINEMA PALACE. Join us on Thursdsay, September 25th when he’ll be in conversation with fellow author Greg Hewett.\nThis tender, exuberant novel about a young man navigating coming of age in ’90s San Francisco is for readers of Garth Greenwell and André Aciman.\nWalter Simmering is searching for love and purpose in a city he doesn’t realize is fading away—San Francisco in 1993, at the height of the AIDS epidemic and the dawn of the tech revolution. Out of college, out of the closet, and transplanted from the Midwest, Walter is irresistibly drawn from his shell when he meets Cary Menuhin and Sasha Stravinsky, a dynamic couple who live blithely beyond the boundaries of gender and sexuality. Witty and ultra-stylish, Cary and Sasha seem to have stepped straight out of a sultry film noir, captivating Walter through a shared obsession with cinema and Hollywood’s golden age.\nAs the three embark on adventures across the city, filled with joie de vivre, their lively friendship evolves in unexpected ways. When Walter befriends Lawrence, a filmmaker and former child actor living with HIV, they pursue a film project of their own, with hilarious and tragic results.\nMIDNIGHT AT THE CINEMA PALACE is a vibrant and nostalgic exploration of young souls discovering themselves amidst the backdrop of a disappearing city. Christopher Tradowsky’s astonishing debut captures the essence of ’90s queer culture and the complex lives of friends seeking an aesthetically beautiful and fulfilling way of life.\nChristopher Tradowsky is a writer, artist, and art historian. He was awarded the 2023 J. Michael Samuel Prize from the Lambda Literary Foundation. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. MIDNIGHT AT THE CINEMA PALACE is his debut novel.\nGreg Hewett is the author of five volumes of poetry, including BLINDSIGHT (Coffee House Press, 2016). The recipient of Fulbright fellowships to Denmark and Norway, he has also been a fellow at the Camargo Foundation in France, and is Professor of English at Carleton College. NO NAMES is his first novel. He lives with his husband in Minneapolis.\n
