Resumen del Editor
"Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." (Los Angeles Review of Books)
"In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family." (Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune)
The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post - the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood - and the battle for a family fortune.
In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana", Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money - and their homosexuality - made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune - and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life.
Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Twilight Man is rich with joy and wonder amid the drama...an epic of loss, heartbreak, and survival." (Los Angeles Review of Books)
"Brown’s research is jaw-dropping in its meticulousness. For the better part of two decades, she went wherever the next secret took her, tracking down diaries, scrapbooks, letters, passenger lists, prison records and other archival material." (Brooks Barnes, The New York Times Book Review)
“In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” (Bill Dedman, coauthor of The New York Times best seller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune)

Historia
The wave of Eastern European Jewish immigrants who swept into New York in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by way of Ellis Island were not welcomed by the Jews who had arrived decades before. These refugees from czarist Russia and the Polish shtetls who came to America to escape pogroms and persecution were considered barbaric, uneducated, and too steeped in the traditions of the "old country" to be accepted by the more refined and already well-established German-Jewish community. But the new arrivals were tough, passionate, and determined.

They immigrated to America from Germany in the nineteenth century with names like Loeb, Sachs, Seligman, Lehman, Guggenheim, and Goldman.

But despite possessing breathtaking wealth that rivaled the Astors and Rockefellers, they were barred by the gentile establishment from the lofty realm of "the 400," a register of New York's most elite, because of their religion and humble backgrounds.

Historia
Hadley Freeman knew her grandmother, Sara, lived in France just as Hitler started to gain power, but rarely did anyone in her family talk about it. Long after her grandmother’s death, she found a shoebox tucked in the closet containing photographs of her grandmother with a mysterious stranger, a cryptic telegram from the Red Cross, and a drawing signed by Picasso. This discovery sent Freeman on a decade-long quest to uncover the significance of these keepsakes, taking her from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island to Auschwitz.

When Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bill Dedman noticed in 2009 a grand home for sale, unoccupied for nearly 60 years, he stumbled through a surprising portal into American history. Empty Mansions is a rich mystery of wealth and loss, connecting the Gilded Age opulence of the 19th century with a 21st-century battle over a $300 million inheritance. At its heart is a reclusive heiress named Huguette Clark, a woman so secretive that, at the time of her death at age 104, no new photograph of her had been seen in decades.

Orphaned at a young age, Edith Stuyvesant Dresser claimed lineage from one of New York's best known families. She grew up in Newport and Paris, and her engagement and marriage to George Vanderbilt was one of the most watched events of Gilded Age society. But none of this prepared her to be mistress of Biltmore House. Before their marriage, the wealthy and bookish Vanderbilt had dedicated his life to creating a spectacular European-style estate on 125,000 acres of North Carolina wilderness.

These are the women behind the infamous men - complex individuals with distinctive personalities who were captivated by Hitler and whose everyday lives were governed by Nazi ideology. Throughout the rise and fall of Nazism these women loved and lost, raised families, and quarreled with their husbands and each other, all the while jostling for position with the Fuhrer himself.

Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend. Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South.

The dark-eyed woman in the long, black gown was first seen in the 1970s, standing near a fireplace. She was sad and translucent, present and absent at once. Strange things began to happen in the Santa Fe hotel where she was seen. Gas fireplaces turned off and on without anyone touching a switch. Glasses flew off shelves. And in one second-floor suite with a canopy bed and arched windows looking out to the mountains, guests reported alarming events.

In 1940, the German sons and daughters of infamous Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or 10 years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their fathers' occupations: These men were leaders of the Third Reich and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals.

Fantastic and fascinating
This was an Amazon suggestion based on past purchases of the Hughette Clark books, and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I thoroughly and completely enjoyed it. Liz Brown’s incredible research and writing combined with Bronson Pinchot’s outstanding narration made this the best audiobook I listened to in 2023 and in a very long time.

Twilight Man: The Story of Love and Ruin
Liz Brown’s Twilight Man reveals the past of an extraordinary life while uncovering so much of America‘s history with highlights in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
We begin hearing Liz Brown’s voice in the introduction and the Legacy which concludes the novel while Bronson Pinchot gives a clear and passionate reading of a Harrison Posts’ life full of love, riches, passion, heartbreak, war, and death. Brown captures America’s historical past riddled with corruption and scandal during the Gilded Age, Prohibition, WWII (and even mentions the Kardashians).
I highly recommend the audible book! What a wonderful novel.

Amazing listen.
This is a remarkable story, in fact one of the best I’ve encountered on Audible, so much so that I’m purchasing a hard copy forthwith. The narration is superior. The research behind the story is exceptional and it is beautifully written kudos to Liz Brown and Branson Pinchot.

Captivating
As a 3rd generation Angelino, I loved all of the geographic references to Los Angeles.
But the story is so much more than that. I was prepared to be bored but nothing of the sort took place. The story is beautifully told, beautifully read, psychologically accurate, well researched.

Butte amateur historian
I am from Butte. I grew up intrigued by history and studying it. Especially the copper kings. Following the Clark lineage was always intriguing, but much of it was hard to trace from Butte. Empty mansions really opened the flood gates to new connections. The moment I saw news of this book I was so excited. Cataract surgeries later I have become a fan of audio books and I get excited for the Easter eggs like the author jumping in. Great research. Great writing. Great emotional replication.

Fascinating story, good narration
the narrator comes off as a little flat at first but finds his way quickly and really does a great job reading this book. Loved the story, loved the writing

Lovely and Well told Story of the skeletons in historical Closets.
This well researched and detailed account of a Twilight Man. Hidden from the history of one of America’s Wealthiest and most influential families. This story deserves to be told in the elegant and artistic beauty that the gentleman earned. How sad the loss of his brilliant collection of art and books. The story is as relevant today as the time it happened. The conservators that took control and drugged the wealthy man should have been charged with kidnapping and torture. I enjoyed this book so much.

A good read during Pride Month
I was interested due to the Clark connection. I grew up in Butte, MT. I started it in late June. This is a good read during Pride Month. I feel for all the souls who have been raised to not lie but then are forced to lie because the world won't accept them for who they are. This story is also one that should help people to realize that they need to know how to earn a living even if they don't always have to.
