Pennsylvania Station

Manhattan1962. Frederick Bailey is a quiet cultured closeted architect reluctantly drawn into the effort to save Pennsylvania Station from being demolished. But when he meets Curt a vibrant immature gay activist more than half his age he is overtaken by passions he hasnt felt in years putting everything he cares about--his friends his family his career and reputation--at risk. As the elegant old train station is dismantled piece by piece to make way for the crass new Madison Square Garden sports arena Frederick must undergo a reckoning he has dreaded all his life. Award-winning author Patrick E. Horrigan delves into the fractured psyches of mid-twentieth-century gay men conjuring a picture of New York City and the nation on the brink of explosive cultural change.
