Felice Picano, “Excavating the Past: Fact, Memory, Memoir, and Cultural History”
A prominent, prolific, award-winning writer of fiction and nonfiction books, magazine and newspaper articles, poetry, and screenplays, Felice Picano was a member of the path breaking Violet Quill Club and a founder of modern gay literature. As a publisher in the 1970s, he founded SeaHorse Press and was one of the founders of Gay Presses of New York, both of which published forgotten classics and some of the most interesting and important gay literature of the post-Stonewall era. Picano’s most recent book, a historical memoir, is Art and Sex in Greenwich Village: Gay Literary Life After Stonewall (Carroll & Graff, 2007). Reviewing the book for the New York Times, Catherine Texier praises Picano's assembly of "a tremendously entertaining collection of anecdotes and portraits that only a witness (and a good writer) could report in such vivid detail."
Working Writers is sponsored by the Jacobson Center for Writing, Teaching and Learning.
