À propos de cet audio

 A Canadian playwright's rise to fame amid the terrors of the AIDS era.

Brad Fraser suffered an impoverished and abusive childhood, living with his teenage parents in motel rooms and shacks on the side of the highway in Alberta and Northern British Columbia. He grew to be one of the most celebrated, and controversial, Canadian playwrights, his work produced to acclaim all over the world.

All the Rage chronicles Brad Fraser's rise as he breaks with his past and enrolls as a performing arts student. He is pulled into the newly developing Canadian theatre scene, where he shows great promise. But his early career is one of challenge after challenge, some of which result from his upbringing and prejudice against his queerness. But just as many challenges arise from his combative personality and willingness to challenge the establishment. Few Canadian artists have been as abrasive, notorious and polarizing as Fraser was in his youth.

Woven through this tale of artistic development is his journey as a queer man coming into himself during the most exhilarating period in the Gay Liberation Movement, and the dawn of a global health crisis. What should have been a triumphant time in a young, successful playwright's life was blighted with the terrifying emergence of AIDS, and the sickness and death of comrades and lovers.

This is both the story of an artist's evolution and an important work of gay history that has rarely been recounted from a Canadian perspective. Written with Fraser's trademark wit and candour, All the Rage is unsparing, sometimes shocking and always enthralling. Biographies et mémoires Divertissement et célébrités Célébrité Mémoires

Ce que les critiques en disent

A CBC Best Canadian Nonfiction Book of 2021
2022 Audie Award Finalist

"Brad Fraser's new release . . . manages to make an intensely personal story bigger than merely the reflections of the famously bad-boy playwright from Edmonton who went on to success as a writer in cities from New York to Los Angeles. Framed through the lens of the AIDS crisis, All the Rage gives context to the lives of gay men in Canada in the 1980s and '90s. At the same time, Fraser . . . charts an inspiring path for people who wonder how they will ever make their way in a world that doesn’t want them." —Edmonton Journal

"Playwright Brad Fraser's new memoir fans the flames of his provocative legacy." —Quill & Quire

"Brad Fraser tells his own story with all the honesty, integrity and unwillingness to compromise that we know and love from his plays." —Kelly Oxford, director, screenwriter, bestselling author

"Brad Fraser's All the Rage displays all of the outrageous passion, raunchy sex, wit, political insight, sorrow and anger that are the hallmarks of his wonderful plays. His travels through a Canadian Dickensian landscape makes you devour this memoir in one addictive gulp." —Charles Busch, author of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Die Mommie Die and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife

"Being immune to self-pity doesn't, happily, make Fraser immune to anger. All the Rage is full of artful skewerings of obtuse theatre administrators, know-it-all critics and hateful homophobes of all kinds. It's a pleasure to see how little time has mellowed Fraser. His memoir is a hymn of support for fearless, risky Canadian theatre, for the queer community and for all marginalized people." —Alberta Views

Brad's narration made me feel like was along for the ride! very well written and definitely eye opening being born in the early eighties and not familiar with the theatrical scene it was great to hear what it was like behind the scenes and importantly the impact of HIV R.I.P to all who lost their lives. Brad , I look forward to your next projects . Thank you for letting us see all chapters of your life thus far.

Amazing !well written! Brad's narration delivers!

A man, who grew up in poverty in Alberta, becomes one of Canada's most important queer playwright's. Brutally honest about himself, and set against the backdrop of the AIDS virus during the '80's and '90's, he's equally honest about the Canadian theatre culture, press, performers, producers etc. Hysterically funny and definitely inward looking, it's a great listen to the author himself talk unapologetically about his life his art his friends and his queerness.

Fascinating and juicy.
