Harlan Lebo, author of Citizen Kane: A Filmmaker’s Journey, will take part in a trio of book signings and conversations with readers this month in Southern California.
Lebo will participate in the 42nd annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on the University of Southern California campus on Saturday April 23, noon to 2 p.m.; and again on Sunday, April 24, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Look for him at USC in the Angel City Press booth.
He will also take part in the Independent Bookstore Day celebration at Flintridge Bookstore on Saturday, April 30, 1 to 3 p.m. The store is located at 858 Foothill Boulevard in La Canada Flintridge, California.
Upon its publication in 2016, The New York Times Book Reviews lauded Citizen Kane: A Filmmaker’s Journey as “the most thorough account yet of the genesis, production and release of Welles’s most famous film.” Earlier this year, Lebo wrote an expanded edition of the book with an additional 16,000 words offering new research into the evolution of the script, infighting at RKO, and efforts by newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst to suppress the film.
Lebo, a senior fellow at the Center for the Digital Future at USC Annenberg, writes about the arts, sciences, and digital technology.
He has written books about Casablanca, The Godfather, and Citizen Kane, the three top movies in the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest motion pictures of all time. The expanded paperback edition of Citizen Kane: A Filmmaker’s Journey is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Angel City Press.
