Trivia – Harvey Milk and In Every Port

Web Sprite 01/15/1989 In Every Port

When Karin wrote In Every Port in 1987, she was afraid many readers outside the Bay Area wouldn’t have heard of Harvey Milk. She decided to set her novel in 1978 so she could include him.

Trivia

Trivia – In Every Port

Web Sprite 01/14/1989 In Every Port

Barbara Grier wasn’t sure she liked the title of Karin’s first novel. But Katherine Forrest did, and In Every Port it remained.

Trivia

She tells stories that can be read over and over again with characters that linger in your thoughts.

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia – Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? Sure!
    It's unusual for Karin to have an actor in mind to play one of her characters. An exception is Marissa's mother in Finders Keepers. The "step up on the table in the country club dining room to make an announcement" personality - it's so Meryl Streep. If she were unavailable then Helen Mirren would do it justice as well.
