Men Who Loved Me

The second instalment of Picano's complete memoirs, Men Who Loved Me picks up the thread of his life in the mid-1960s. Sexually unresolved and unsuccessful in his relationships with women, unhappy in work and unfulfilled in life, Picano flees to Europe and settles in Italy in the golden era of Cinecitta, only to fall in love with the questionable glamour of the time, and finally to return to a suddenly very gay Manhattan. A funny, sad remembrance of a Europe and New York that are forever changed, this confirmed Picano's place among the most talked about writers of his time.
