  • Douglas Brode, Author of "Meet Me in Manhattan," on the Sunbury Press Books Show
    Nov 17 2024

    The romanticized history of Old West desperados Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid cannot be examined without including the woman who figured prominently in their histories, Etta Place.

    Author Douglas Brode examines a brief two-and-one-half weeks in the life of Butch, Sundance, and Etta--their trip to New York City, as they leave the West behind for a new life in South America. Brode reimagines from Etta's point of view, what they experienced as old ways changed into what would be called, "Modern Times." This historical work of fiction also highlights what they would have seen, and the people Etta might have met.

    Douglas Brode has had a varied life. A novelist with nearly three dozen books to his credit, he is also a graphic novelist, playwright, Hollywood screenwriter, film and TV historian, and radio/TV commentator. In addition, he is a syndicated columnist. His works include an analysis of the work and vision of Rod Serling, plus studies of filmmakers Woody Allen and Stephen Spielberg.

    Brode also taught at the Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, and the University of Texas at San Antonio.
