L. John Harris discusses his new book published by Heyday, Portrait in Red, at the Hillside Club for their Fireside Meeting: “Turning the Inside Out: Four Memoirists Explore the Personal Narrative.” Harris is joined by authors Nina Renata Aron, Summer Brenner, and Zack Rogow.
2286 Cedar St, Berkeley, CA. Open to the public and admission is free to members, with a suggested donation for non-members. No one is turned away for lack of funds. The meetings begin with social time for members, a brief Club business meeting.
L. John Harris details his journey to uncover the mystery behind a mesmerizing painting of a girl he found on a Paris street in Portrait in Red: A Paris Obsession. It’s an often-funny, surreal detective story in which the author makes connections between Paris right before World War II, his bohemian life in Berkeley, his search for the perfect croque monsieur and the nature of art itself.
