In the early 1970s, when he was still an aspiring, unpublished
writer, Felice Picano began a remarkable relationship with an
extraordinary animal: a days-old kitten slated for euthanasia who
refused to perish. Rescued, named, and trained, Fred became an
extraordinarily intelligent companion, ally, teacher, and constant
wonder to the author as he began his ascent through the Bohemian
circles of Greenwich Village, among musicians, actors, curious
characters, and even the famous British actress in hiding right
next door.
But when an acquaintance brought his female cat to be serviced by
Fred, an entire new set of experiences opened up for the cat-and
for Picano, who'd never had the nerve to befriend her owner, his
ideal man. The course of love seldom runs straight for cats or for
men, and this time would prove (hilariously) no different.
This is another of Picano's distinguished portraits of a vanished
era, when a new gay domain was solidifying only a few years after
the Stonewall Riots, and the still nascent gay literary world that
Picano would help invent was just a conception. "Fred in Love" is a
charming, nostalgic, funny, gossipy, involving, and ultimately
enlightening story about how we learn and grow, and how we
love-whether the object of our affection is a cat or another human
being. It's sure to take its place next to Picano's now classic
literary memoirs "Ambidextrous," "Men Who Loved Me," and "A House
on the Ocean, a House on the Bay,"
