Rob Spillman, the award-winning, charismatic cofounding editor of
Tin House, has devoted his life to the rebellious pursuit of
artistic authenticity. In All Tomorrow's Parties, he takes us on a
journey through the formative years of his youth in search of
purpose--through Cold War to post-Wall Berlin and the gritty days
of New York City's East Village in the eighties. Born in Germany to
two driven musicians, his childhood was spent backstage among the
West Berlin cognoscenti, in a city two hundred miles behind the
Iron Curtain. There, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark reminder of
the split between East and West, between suppressed dreams and
freedom of expression. It was against this distinctive backdrop
that he became inspired to live for art. After an unsettled youth
moving between divorced parents in disparate cities, Spillman would
eventually find his way into the literary world of New York City,
only to abandon it to return to Berlin just months after the Wall
came down. Twenty-five and newly married, Spillman and his wife
moved to the bullet-pocked, anarchic streets of East Berlin in
search of the bohemian lifestyle of their idols. But Spillman's
constant striving--for inspiration and for identity--ultimately led
him to discover that he was chasing the one thing that had always
eluded him: a place, or person, to call home. All Tomorrow's
Parties is an intimate, exhilarating, and heartfelt memoir; a
colorful, music-filled coming-of-age portrait of an artist's life
and an offbeat exploration of a shifting Berlin on the cusp of
cultural renaissance.
