Stahl’s novels include Bad Sex On Speed, Happy Mutant Baby Pills, I, Fatty, Pain Killers, Perv: A Love Story, and Plainclothes Naked. He is the editor of the anthology The Heroin Chronicles published by Akashic Books in 2012. His memoir, Permanent Midnight, was adapted into a film starring Ben Stiller in 1998.
As a screen writer, Stahl has written for the TV series Alf, Thirtysomething, Moonlighting, Twin Peaks, and Northern Exposure. More recently he has written for the TV show CSI and also a screenplay for the HBO film about Ernest Hemingway and his relationship with Martha Gellhorn, entitled Hemingway and Gellhorn, starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman.
Please note, we’re not sure if the cocktails will be complimentary, so bring some cash, just in case.
