The Mayor of Castro Street
The biography of Harvey Milk by author Randy Shilts
978-0312560850 The Mayor of Castro Street is a 1982 biography of Harvey Milk, written by Randy Shilts.[1][2][3]
Critical reception
Kirkus Reviews wrote that "Shilts' interwoven account of the emergence of San Francisco as a gay mecca--and the accompanying rise in gays' political clout--is first-rate."[1]
Adaptations
- In April 2007, Participant Media closed a deal with Warner Independent to turn the book into a film.[4] However, the film appears to have stalled in "development hell," as no further news about development, casting or production has emerged. The intended adaptation was unrelated to the Academy Award-winning fictional film about Harvey Milk's life, Milk, or to an earlier documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk.
- In 2009, Audible.com produced an audio version of The Mayor of Castro Street, narrated by Marc Vietor, as part of its Modern Vanguard line of audiobooks.
