An Evening with John Rechy

Presented by UCR Palm Desert Graduate Center at UCR Palm Desert Theater

February 24, 2007

John Rechy is arguably the preeminent literary icon for America’s gay community. Holder of two coveted Lifetime Achievement Awards, PEN-USA-West’s 1997 Lifetime Achievement Award and The Publishing Triangle’s William Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement. He broke out in 1963 as the bestselling author of City of Night, his novel about the underworld of gay male prostitution, and became a source for provocative commentary on sex, homosexuality, and culturally transgressive literature for publications as varied as the New York Times, The Nation, the Advocate, and Forum. He joins Prof. Tom Lutz in an "Inside the Actors Studio" - format conversation at UCR Palm Desert on February 24.
