A House on the Ocean, a House on the Bay

A House On The Ocean, A House On The Bay, the third of Felice Picano's memoir series, is a beautifully rendered portrait of gay life on Fire Island, the mythic locus of so much innocence lost and gay celebrity and celebration found. Privileged to live on Fire Island for six months of each year over a decade, Picano lovingly recounts this part of his life, as well as his relationships and the gay landscape of the fabled 1970s. The book sparkles with life, revealing a then-new Gay era to a brand new generation of readers. The Advocate says, "This book is EXQUISITELY ETCHED IN FINELY HONED DETAIL. Young gay readers will enjoy it for its lively evocation of a memorable time in gay history, while more mature gay readers will identify with the odyssey of one man's achievement."
