Acerca de esta escucha

"Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

"In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family." (Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune)

The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post - the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood - and the battle for a family fortune.

In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana", Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money - and their homosexuality - made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune - and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life.

Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Twilight Man is rich with joy and wonder amid the drama...an epic of loss, heartbreak, and survival." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

"Brown’s research is jaw-dropping in its meticulousness. For the better part of two decades, she went wherever the next secret took her, tracking down diaries, scrapbooks, letters, passenger lists, prison records and other archival material." (Brooks Barnes, The New York Times Book Review)

“In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” (Bill Dedman, coauthor of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune)

Twilight Man: The Story of Love and Ruin

Liz Brown’s Twilight Man reveals the past of an extraordinary life while uncovering so much of America‘s history with highlights in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

We begin hearing Liz Brown’s voice in the introduction and the Legacy which concludes the novel while Bronson Pinchot gives a clear and passionate reading of a Harrison Posts’ life full of love, riches, passion, heartbreak, war, and death. Brown captures America’s historical past riddled with corruption and scandal during the Gilded Age, Prohibition, WWII (and even mentions the Kardashians).

I highly recommend the audible book! What a wonderful novel.

Amazing listen.

This is a remarkable story, in fact one of the best I’ve encountered on Audible, so much so that I’m purchasing a hard copy forthwith. The narration is superior. The research behind the story is exceptional and it is beautifully written kudos to Liz Brown and Branson Pinchot.

Fantastic and fascinating

This was an Amazon suggestion based on past purchases of the Hughette Clark books, and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I thoroughly and completely enjoyed it. Liz Brown’s incredible research and writing combined with Bronson Pinchot’s outstanding narration made this the best audiobook I listened to in 2023 and in a very long time.

Unexpected Tales Told Well

Butte, MT copper has played many roles in America’s history. This strategic resource helped power the electric grid, but the most shocking stories around it are those of the flesh, not the electric current.

Liz Brown has a great gift for telling stories. Relax and let her keen eyes light the way.

This recent Ucross beneficiary has recharged her spirit, and is about to uncork another work! Looking forward to reading that one-

Butte amateur historian

I am from Butte. I grew up intrigued by history and studying it. Especially the copper kings. Following the Clark lineage was always intriguing, but much of it was hard to trace from Butte. Empty mansions really opened the flood gates to new connections. The moment I saw news of this book I was so excited. Cataract surgeries later I have become a fan of audio books and I get excited for the Easter eggs like the author jumping in. Great research. Great writing. Great emotional replication.

Fascinating story, good narration

Captivating

As a 3rd generation Angelino, I loved all of the geographic references to Los Angeles.

But the story is so much more than that. I was prepared to be bored but nothing of the sort took place. The story is beautifully told, beautifully read, psychologically accurate, well researched.

Fascinating, incredibly well-researched story.

A compelling, surprisingly personal take on a chapter of American and Queer American history that has been too long untold.
