Get Lit: Harvey Fierstein's New Memoir 'I Was Better Last Night'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 1, 2022

We air highlights from our interview with Harvey Fierstein as part of our March "Get Lit with All Of It" book club event. It's our first in-person event in over two years! We spent the month reading Fierstein's new memoir, I Was Better Last Night. The memoir details Fierstein's life and career, his activism, and his struggles with addiction. Kirkus says of the book, "A poignant, clever, and entertaining look at an impressive, unique career."
