Encounters with Michael Arlen: Book Talk
A literary shooting star of the 1920s, Michael Arlen (1895-1956) was the chronicler of Mayfair society. He became an international celebrity after the publication of his scandalous novel The Green Hat in 1924. Born into an immigrant Armenian community in Lancashire, following early breakthrough in London he led a millionaire’s life on the Riviera and dabbled in the Hollywood film industry before living out his final years in New York, all but forgotten.
This illustrated talk was about Arlen’s life and career by Philip Ward, based on Ward’s recently published book "Encounters with Michael Arlen".
This event was held in collaboration with Troubador Publishing.
