In 1979, Felice Picano rocketed to fame with the publication of
this shocking, controversial thriller. Riveting and candid in its
depiction of the gay sexual subculture of the era, and praised by
Stephen King as "Explosive...Felice Picano is one hell of a
writer," "The Lure "thrusts young widower Noel Hathaway into a dark
universe of physical and psychological violence; an unwilling lure
used by the police to unmask an elusive killer.
Felice Picano is the author of 18 books, including the
international best-sellers "The Book of Lies "and "Like People in
History "as well as the acclaimed literary memoirs "Ambidextrous,
Men Who Loved Me," and "A House on the Ocean, A House on the Bay."
He has been nominated for several Lambda Literary Awards and is a
recipient of the Ferro-Grumley award for fiction. Formerly a
longtime New Yorker, he currently resides in Los Angeles.
Can a U.S. president decide to hold suspected terrorists
indefinitely without charges or secretly monitor telephone
conversations and e-mails without a warrant in the interest of
national security? Was the George W. Bush administration justified
in authorizing waterboarding? Was President Obama justified in
ordering the killing, without trial or hearing, of a U.S. citizen
suspected of terrorist activity? Defining the scope and limits of
emergency presidential power might seem easy just turn to Article
II of the Constitution. But as Chris Edelson shows, the reality is
complicated. In times of crisis, presidents have frequently staked
out claims to broad national security power. Ultimately it is up to
the Congress, the courts, and the people to decide whether
presidents are acting appropriately or have gone too far. Drawing
on excerpts from the U.S. Constitution, Supreme Court opinions,
Department of Justice memos, and other primary documents, Edelson
weighs the various arguments that presidents have used to justify
the expansive use of executive power in times of crisis. Emergency
Presidential Power uses the historical record to evaluate and
analyze presidential actions before and after the terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001. The choices of the twenty-first century,
Edelson concludes, have pushed the boundaries of emergency
presidential power in ways that may provide dangerous precedents
for current and future commanders-in-chief. Winner, Crader Family

In the early 1970s, when he was still an aspiring, unpublished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,"
For a new century and a new generation of readers comes a fully
revised and expanded edition of a classic guide to gay sex, love,
and life.
Invaluable as a sex guide, a resource on building self-esteem,
and a trusted aid for coming out of the closet, "The Joy of Gay
Sex" covers the ins and outs of gay life alphabetically from "anus"
to "wrestling." Noted psychologist Dr. Charles Silverstein has
collaborated once again with critically acclaimed novelist Felice
Picano on this third edition, updating every single entry and
adding nearly thirty new entries. The authors provide positive and
responsible advice on safe sex in all its varieties; on emotional
and relationship-oriented issues such as long-term couples,
loneliness, and growing older; and on scores of diverse topics
ranging from spirituality to online dating. With fifty new line
drawings by acclaimed illustrator Joseph Phillips, this landmark
reference is a necessary addition to every gay man's bookshelf.
