Fred in Love

"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 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 story about how we learn and grow, and how we love - whether the object of our affection is a cat or another human being."--Jacket.
