Library Associates Author Series Kicks Off
Harry Brant Chandler kicked off the Library Associates Author series for the current academic year last night to a full house at the Research Library. Chandler’s new book, Dreamers in Dream City is a stunning collection of portraits and biographies of some of the most colorful and accomplished people the City of Angels has ever produced.
Harry is a fifth-generation Angeleno and a member of the Chandler family of The Los Angeles Times. A graduate of the presstigious Phillips Andover Academy, he is a graduate of Stanford University. For almost 30 years, Harry was a media executive who worked with companies such as 20th Century Fox, Showtime, and CBS. Recently, he has begun to devote his talents to art and photograhy. His distinctive portrait of Los Angeles in Dreamers is a result of his experiences in media blended with his passion for photography.
He hightlighted four of the “dreamers” drawn from the fifty-six women and men included in the book ranging from immigrants to billionaires, unknowns to the world famous, surfers to moviemakers, and quacks to rocket scientists.
As always there was a lively question and answer session at the conclusion of his remarks.
