Thomas Gladysz will be joining us to share from the book Diary of a Lost Girl, by Margarete Bohme.
The Louise Brooks film, Diary of a Lost Girl, is based on this controversial and best-selling book first published in Germany in 1905. Though little known today, it was a literary sensation at the beginning of the 20th century. Was it the real-life diary of a young woman forced by circumstance into a life of prostitution, or a sensational and clever fake, one of the first novels of its kind?
About the Author:
Thomas Gladysz, director of the Louise Brooks Society, wrote the introduction to Diary of a Lost Girl, detailing the book’s remarkable history and relationship to the 1929 film.
