"Postcards from Palm Springs" is the underground phenomenon that is doing for this California desert community what "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" did for Savannah, Georgia. Author Robert Julian's sharp eye, keen wit, and strong sense of the absurd recalls the work of Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris. A funny, outrageous, and ultimately moving memoir of both person and place, "Postcards from Palm Springs" soars.

In BUT THE SHOW WENT ON, (the prequel to his best-selling memoir, POSTCARDS FROM PALM SPRINGS) author Robert Julian revisits 17 essays, interviews, and feature stories he created for the San Francisco Sentinel over 20 years ago. Each entry is illuminated by a new backstory that provides a perspective only made possible by the passage of time. With the same take-no-prisoners attitude that propelled thousands of readers through POSTCARDS FROM PALM SPRINGS in one sitting, Robert Julian once again establishes the value of a smart mouth, sharp eye, and snappy rejoinder.
