Representaion Supposing Books Like People in History

Flamboyant, mercurial Alistair Dodge and steadfast, cautious Roger Sansarc are second cousins who are both gay and whose lifelong friendship begins when they first meet as nine-year-old boys in 1954. At crucial moments in their personal histories their lives intersect, and each discovers his own unique - and uniquely gay- identity.

Through the lends of their complex, tumultuous, yet enduring relationship - and their involvement with the handsome model, poet and decorated Vietnam vet Matt Loguidice, whom they both love - Felice Picano chronicles and celebrates gay life and subculture over the last half of the twentieth century.

From Malibu Beach in its palmist surfer days to the legendary parties at Fire Island Pines in the 1970s, from San Francisco during its gayest era to AIDS activism in Greenwich Village in the 1990s, Like People in History presents 'the heroic and funny saga of the last three decades by someone who saw everything and forgot nothing' (Edmund White).

Enjoyed it. Recommended for the gaylit crowd.

The cover blurb describes how each of the two main characters Roger Sansarc, and his second cousin, Alistair Dodge discover their own "unique - and uniquely gay - identity". Through the process of following the relationship of these characters across four decades, it has helped me dust off the glitter on the faded red sequined hot pants of my own gay identity.The two first meet as nine-year-old boys and Alistair seems to have everything that the "ordinary" Rog could want. Alistair is a

I love an epic family saga, even when family doesn't fit the nuclear husband/wife/2.4 child mold. In this official family ties were mostly limited to 2nd cousins, but sometimes it's the family you make that's most important. That is especially true for the gay community going through the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and 90s. I'm not especially fond of the title of this book as it seems to misdirect your attention to the notorious in history. I'm not in charge of book titles, so this will remain

I was pulled in at the opening and I cried at the ending. My issue is with everything in between. The author has some wondeful passages, but then hits on spots that could have used better editing. He builds a great duality with two cousins each gay  who live though four decades of coming out, competing with each other, and ultimately caring for each other. Problem is, the writing is uneven and, at times, sexist and racist. There are comments and actions that sometimes don't fit with the

Disappointing. Read years back and, tough enjoyable at times, I found it totally over-rated

I haven't been this captivated by a story in a long time. I was totally drawn in and emotionally involved with the characters so much that I basically did nothing for three days but read. This was the first time I read a book about a gay theme and gay characters, and I am very pleased with the experience. I will be looking into more by this author for sure and recommend this to anyone who likes a good lifelong story/saga type.

Though published over 10 years ago, Like People In History is one of my favorite books by Felice Picano; I've read the book three times now during that time. The friendship, deep bond and admiration Roger and Alistair have for each other friendship is palbable. I'm sure many boys will be reminded of similar friends they grew up with, some harboring secret crushes. At times funny, sexy, tragic and sad, Like People In History is a must-read for any gay man and those looking for a story that
