WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 3: Author Frank Herbert attends the"Dune" Washington DC Premiere on December 3, 1984 at the Eisenhower Theatre, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. A new adaptation of the book will be released as a major motion picture on October 22, starring Timothee Chalamet and Oakland native Zendaya. David Lynch famously directed and produced an earlier iteration of “Dune,” in what was resoundingly described as a flop, monetarily and otherwise.
The Herberts lived in the Bay Area for years. They initially moved to a small apartment on Potrero Hill, before moving next door to 412 Mississippi, where Brian Herbert says his dad wrote the majority of “Dune.” Brian Herbert, now a writer himself, declined a request to be interviewed for this story.
In San Francisco, the Herberts hobnobbed with the science-fiction writing elite, including Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, who wrote “A Stranger in a Strange Land.” Mrs. Herbert worked downtown at The White House, the first department store in the city.
