Beskrivning

During the summer of '69, Elliot Tiber first helped start the Gay Liberation Movement and then saved the Woodstock Festival from cancellation. However, the best and most significant of Tiber's life adventures did not happen until after Woodstock. In this third and final memoir, following the critically acclaimed, Palm Trees on the Hudson, and his break-out bestseller, Taking Woodstock, Tiber chronicles a series of hilariously madcap and often heartbreaking adventures he had while navigating the rough-and-tumble terrain of the entertainment industry. Guided as much by luck as by his creative talents and what his old-world Jewish parents would call chutzpah, Tiber's journeys take him around the world—all the while chasing that elusive big brass ring. The heart of this bittersweet tale, however, resides in Tiber's affectionate retelling of a decades-long relationship he had with his lover and friend, the celebrated Belgian playwright/director, André Ernotte. Through his colourful life with André, Tiber comes to realise his potential as a humorist and screenwriter for Belgian television and film and finds a way to cope with the shrill demands of his dysfunctional mother, whose second wedding in the hills of Israel gives new meaning to the Wailing Wall. Most importantly, Tiber finally learns the true meaning of love, as his relationship with André is tested harshly by the emergence of AIDS, a string of professional and personal disappointments and a series of events that threaten to sever the close bonds between them. A passionate and ultimately joyful evocation of a time when the world was very different, AFTER WOODSTOCK is a poignant story in which Elliot Tiber reminds us how our search for love and meaning drives us forward.
