<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A memoir of gay life in 1970s Long Island by one of the leading proponents of the New Narrative movement.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A memoir of gay life in 1970s Long Island by one of the leading proponents of the New Narrative movement.</b><p><i>Fascination</i> brings together an early memoir, <i>Bedrooms Have Windows</i> (1989) and a previously unpublished prose work, <i>Bachelors Get Lonely</i>, by the poet and novelist Kevin Killian, one of the founding members of the New Narrative movement. The two together depict the author's early years struggling to become a writer in the sexed-up, boozy, drug-ridden world of Long Island's North Shore in the 1970s. It concludes with <i>Triangles in the Sand</i>, a new, previously unpublished memoir of Killian's brief affair in the 1970s with the composer Arthur Russell. <i>Fascination</i> offers a moving and often funny view of the loneliness and desire that defined gay life of that era--a time in which Richard Nixon's resignation intersected with David Bowie's <i>Diamond Dogs</i>--from one of the leading voices in experimental gay writing of the past thirty years. "Move along the velvet rope," Killian writes in <i>Bedrooms Have Windows</i>, "run your shaky fingers past the lacquered Keith Haring graffito: 'You did not live in our time! Be Sorry!'"</p>
