Welcome to my website, thomasgladysz.com
My name is Thomas Gladysz (pronounced gwa-dish); I am a longtime “culture worker.” I am a free-lance writer and a former bookseller; I’ve also worked in publishing as director of marketing and sales for Arion Press, a renowned fine press (letterpress) publisher. These days, I make my way in the world as an independent arts writer, “pop-culture archeologist,” and published author. You can find past work on Film International, Huffington Post and elsewhere on the web.
In 1995, I founded the Louise Brooks Society, a pioneering website and online archive dedicated to the iconic silent film star. It’s known all over the world, and has been praised in the pages of the New York Times, Wired magazine, and elsewhere. So far, I have authored numerous articles and five books on the actress. Another book should be completed next year.
My newest book, The Street of Forgotten Men: From Story to Screen and Beyond, has just been published. It is a deep dive into the history of a single film. At 380 pages, it is my biggest and most ambitious book to date. Please check it out. The book is available online through amazon.com // Barnes & Noble // Bookshop.org and wherever better books are sold.
I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, was educated at Michigan State University, long lived in San Francisco, and now reside in Sacramento, California. I’m married, and am a film & music buff, reader of books, collector of things & longtime enthusiast of the past. I garden, cook, and take care of a couple of dogs. That’s me in a nutshell.
