Ambidextrous The Secret Lives of Children

The touching and funny memories of childhood - as only Felice Picano could tell them. "Ambidextrous" tells the story of Picano's youth in the suburbs of New York during the Fifties. Beginning at age eleven, Picaso's "memoir in the form of a novel" tells all: home life, school face-offs, the ingenuous sophistications of his first sexual steps. In three years' time, he's had his first gay fling - and is on his way to becoming the writer about whom the "L.A. Herald Examiner" said "(he) can run the length of experience from the lyrical to the lewd without missing a beat." A moving volume of memories, "Ambidextrous" is sure to reawaken the child's sense of wonder inside everyone.
