Very Smart
Amos Lassen
To be a good writer, a person must have an idea, a way to say and a way to come back at his readers. Robert Julian does exactly that as we see in his 17 essays that comprise "But the Show Went On'. There are also interviews and feature stories taken from the San Francisco Sentinel from over 25 years ago and he ties everything together with a back-story. We especially feel the horror of the AIDS epidemic and realize how much all of us were touched by it. This is a wonderful look at a time that was and makes us remember all too much about it.

About this book
In BUT THE SHOW WENT ON, (the prequel to his best-selling memoir, POSTCARDS FROM PALM SPRINGS) author Robert Julian revisits 17 essays, interviews, and feature stories he created for the San Francisco Sentinel over 20 years ago. Each entry is illuminated by a new backstory that provides a perspective only made possible by the passage of time. With the same take-no-prisoners attitude that propelled thousands of readers through POSTCARDS FROM PALM SPRINGS in one sitting, Robert Julian once again establishes the value of a smart mouth, sharp eye, and snappy rejoinder.
