StarBuzz, Toronto-Why did Mao Tse-Tung refuse an arranged marriage in his youth?
What betrayal, humiliation, and denial shaped the adolescent years of Idi Amin, Rafael Trujillo, and Joseph Stalin?
Join two-time Dora Award-winning playwright Anton Piatigorsky in conversation with Misha Glouberman (co-author of The Chairs are Where the People Go) as he explores these questions and more at the Toronto launch of his highly anticipated debut The Iron Bridge.
This new book, published by Goose Lane Editions, playfully investigates the impact of a seemingly insignificant series of events and how they shaped some of the world’s most infamous tyrannical figures.
Wondering if this launch is for you? Sarah Polley’s praise might help:
“As astounding collection of intricate and rigorous character studies. The Iron Bridge bravely takes us deep into nuanced, damaged psyches of men we would prefer to think of as monsters. Thrilling, brazen, brilliant and deeply felt. The most compelling stories I’ve in years.”
