A House on the Ocean, A House on the Bay spans the heyday of Picano's life in the Pines and Manhattan during the 1960s and 1970s. He chronicles his love affairs and the tortuous intricacies of a longtime love triangle, his hilarious misadventures as a bookstore employee (arranging a book party hosted by Jackie Onassis, lunchtime rendezvous in secret tunnels below Grand Central Station, getting framed for embezzlement ), and the thrills and agonies involved in the writing and publishing of his first novels, including Smart as the Devil and Eyes. Picano also regales us with stories about the legendary Class of 1975, the Gay 2,000 - hip, political, talented, beautiful young men who formed and molded gay culture as it exists today. AIDS eventually spread through the Pines like wildfire and about 98 percent of the Gay 2,000 are now dead, but Felice Picano has lived through it all, and he gives voice to those times with humor, candor, and wistfulness.… (meer)

Picano does have an incredible way of writing! I recently have purchased most of his books after finding "Ambidextrous" at a yard sale. What interesting lives some folks have and when they get it down on paper it's a joy. From his simple story of working in a New York City bookstore and all of the crazy employee issues surely makes an HR professional appreciate the mess people can get themselves into. His Menage et Trois, which two other men, which I would not characterize as same since the three of them never entered into threesome sex - much less twosome sex with his paramour - how can people get into these messes - it difficult enough having Gay sex with one person!

His memoir covers the erotic life of Fire Islands and specifically the Pines and the Grove their heyday and their end with the advent of AIDS. A nice read. ( )
