Mondays at Beinecke: From that Time and Place - Celebrating Felice Picano and Andrew Holleran on Their 80th Birthdays

Join us for a special Mondays at Beinecke online conversation featuring Felice Picano (The Lure, A House on the Ocean, a House on the Bay) and Andrew Holleran, (Dancer from the Dance, The Kingdom of Sand) reflecting on the first full flowering of gay male literature in the 1970s and 1980s they helped create, drawing on their diaries and letters and manuscripts on deposit at the Beinecke, to explore how their works took shape – and helped shape the era of literary and political liberation after Stonewall and into the early years of the AIDS epidemic and beyond.

The program will feature Picano and Holleran in conversation with writer Bill Goldstein, a 2022-23 Beinecke research fellow who is writing a biography of Larry Kramer, whose extensive collection on deposit at the Beinecke also documents that era and includes many letters to and from Andrew Holleran.

Mondays at Beinecke online talks focus on materials from the collections and include an opening presentation at 4pm followed by conversation and question and answer beginning about 4:30pm until 5pm.
