Library Author Talk - "The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and The Last Years of Hollywood" by Sam Wasson

Join us for a remarkable evening with author Sam Wasson in conversation with Chinatown's first assistant director, Howard "Hawk" Koch, Jr. (former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 2012-2013). The New York Times bestselling author Sam Wasson is the author of six critically acclaimed books on show business. In The Big Goodbye, Wasson turns his gaze on the making of Chinatown. Notorious for its twist ending and haunting closing line of dialogue, Chinatown is one of the great films of American cinema. Here for the first time is the incredible true story of its making. Wasson will tell you why it endures as a work of art and a state of mind.
