Rob Spillman, the award-winning, charismatic cofounding editor of Tin House, has devoted his life to the rebellious pursuit of artistic authenticity. In All Tomorrow's Parties, he takes us on a journey through the formative years of his youth in search of purpose--through Cold War to post-Wall Berlin and the gritty days of New York City's East Village in the eighties.

Born in Germany to two driven musicians, his childhood was spent backstage among the West Berlin cognoscenti, in a city two hundred miles behind the Iron Curtain. There, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark reminder of the split between East and West, between suppressed dreams and freedom of expression. It was against this distinctive backdrop that he became inspired to live for art.

After an unsettled youth moving between divorced parents in disparate cities, Spillman would eventually find his way into the literary world of New York City, only to abandon it to return to Berlin just months after the Wall came down. Twenty-five and newly married, Spillman and his wife moved to the bullet-pocked, anarchic streets of East Berlin in search of the bohemian lifestyle of their idols. But Spillman's constant striving--for inspiration and for identity--ultimately led him to discover that he was chasing the one thing that had always eluded him: a place, or person, to call home.

All Tomorrow's Parties is an intimate, exhilarating, and heartfelt memoir; a colorful, music-filled coming-of-age portrait of an artist's life and an offbeat exploration of a shifting Berlin on the cusp of cultural renaissance.

Nice sport coat
Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
The quality is good but the beige color had a pinkish tone to it that I didn’t care for so it was returned. It’s a nice sport coat otherwise for the price! My husband wears a 42 long but the XL fit well.

I wasn’t expecting much for about $50
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
I was in a hurry from for a casual dinner jacket for a Caribbean cruise with my 11 year old this week. I wasn’t gonna be picky. 1) it looks like 70’s leisure suit material 2) what looks like lint are little bits of white polyester thread. When picked off one of said pieces of lint, this picture with the long thread happened 3) it came folded in a manner you should not fold a jacket. 4) Its 19% linen 1% cotton but it looks 0% natural materials 5) A 40R fits me well and I’ll not be able to button this size M, it’s too small for me. It will work unbuttoned 6) I’d return if I had an option. It’s low stakes, I’ll wear it twice and never again. 7) The pictures in the ad are fair, just look at all of them, not just the first one. Overall I don’t think it should be marketed as linen.
