GCL states San Francisco Elks Lodge with Green Apple Books Hosts Renowned Author Barry Gifford

Barry Gifford is the multiple award-winning author of more than 50 works of fiction, poetry and
essays, as well as numerous screenplays. His novel Wild at Heart was adapted as a hugely successful
film for David Lynch – the first of four films that the two have collaborated on. Barry has also been
the subject of two film documentaries, and he possesses the kind of talent that lead The Los Angeles
Times to call him a master and Jonathan Lethem to say, Barry Gifford invented his own American
vernacular--William Faulkner by way of B-movie film noir… and Sun Records rockabilly. His current
collection, The Roy Stories, is a 40 year chronicle of his personal history during the years of late
1940s through the early 1960s – think Hemingways Nick Adams stories with a dollop of pulp and a
gram of grit.
