About this event
From foreign correspondent to sexual freedom fighter: Join us Monday, May 19 at 7 p.m. to hear author and onetime Philadelphia journalist (at the late, great City Paper) Daniel Brook discuss his new biography, THE EINSTEIN OF SEX: Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, Visionary of Weimar Berlin (W. W. Norton). While best known as a German-Jewish medical doctor, psychotherapist, queer rights activist, and race/gender/sexual orientation theorist, Hirschfeld's first job was as a foreign correspondent based in Chicago for a German newspaper. This talk will highlight this aspect of his brilliant and rollicking life. Books will be available for purchase from Head House Books. Registration is not required, but we appreciate your letting us know you're coming by registering here.
