MICHAEL PALIN discusses

Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT. 

Harvard Book Store is downright giddy to present of the one and only Michael Palin discussing his new book, Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years, and in conversation with Peter Kadzis, executive editor of the Boston Phoenix.

Mr. Palin apparently has kept a diary since being newly married in the late 1960s, when he was beginning to make a name for himself as a TV scriptwriter. And now we get to take a peek inside.... This volume reveals how Python emerged and triumphed -- how Palin, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, the two Terrys -- Jones and Gilliam -- and Eric Idle came together and changed the face of British comedy. The birth and childhood of Palin's three children, his father’s growing disability, learning to cope as a young man with celebrity, his friendship with George Harrison, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also covered.
