I WAS BETTER LAST NIGHT A Memoir

This wonderful audiobook is a special treat for those who know and love actor, writer, director Harvey Fierstein. He narrates the book himself in THAT VOICE. His singular, often outrageous, perspective reflects his artistry. His writing is frequently poetic, always awake and aware, smoothly blending with the coarser street speech of his early Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, neighborhood. His wit is without peer. Winner of numerous awards for such works as KINKY BOOTS, HAIRSPRAY, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, and TORCH SONG TRILOGY, Fierstein recounts his larger-than-life personal and artistic triumphs and failures, frequently passing on the credit for his successes to his colleagues. With wildly funny anecdotes sprinkled throughout (no one can do that combination of sweetness and vitriol quite like Fierstein), this is a must-listen. S.J.H.
