4.0 out of 5 stars Gay love and life just before Stonewall., 24 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Men Who Loved Me (Paperback)
This second memoir by Felice Picano follows him as a bored and restless young man to Italy, where he finds both romance and adventure among the denizens of Cinecitta, the famed Italian film studio. The first half of the book chronicles his relationship with Djanko, a director. In the second half, "The Jane Street Girls," Felice has returned to New York, has landed a job at Graphique magazine, and is involved with a man who is old enough to be part of a more closeted, cautious generation.

Of the three memoirs, this one is not *as* compelling, but is still very worthwhile reading, and delivers a blow in its final pages that still has me reeling, wanting to hear more, even though there's not much more that can be said. Worth it for that alone, actually, and makes the title even more meaningful, changing it from possibly self-serving to ironic.

Preceded by Ambidextrous and followed by A House on the Ocean, A House on the Bay.
