David Burke presents "Bad Boys and Bad Girls of Literature in Paris," an illustrated talk based on his long years of literary detective work on his acclaimed book Writers in Paris: Literary Lives in the City of Light ($19.95). The presentation features scandalous "boys" from the days of medieval poet, thief, priest-killer, and Master of Arts in Theology François Villon to such 20th Century shockers as Henry Miller, Jean Genet, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, and such scandalous "girls" as George Sand, Colette, and Anaïs Nin. Burke is a longtime writer/producer of television documentaries, most notably for 60 Minutes, who left New York with his director/editor wife Joanne Burke in 1986 to spend a year in Paris. They have been working there ever since.
