Description
by Vincent Burke (Author)
...evocative and moving...entertaining...riveting-Kirkus Reviews Vivid memories of an assault by his boss at age 16, of being cornered and trapped by young thugs, of fleeing the police, of a big bank error in his favor... This is the tell-all account of Vince Burke's exceptional life that rose from his father's abandonment. To escape anti-gay bias, he went undercover in his glamour careers as a newsman, a Madison Avenue adman, a Manhattan landlord. Now he's discovered a new emotion: forgiveness, and he offers letters of forgiveness for past prejudice. Burke exposes his adventures on enigmatic Fire Island. He admits to anti-social opinions. He lived everywhere: Greenwich Village, the Hamptons, Provincetown, the UK, in a 26-room chateau in the countryside of France. We meet magnificent people, and a few evil ones. Finally, Burke proclaims his life, "86 years worth living." "...engaging...poignant...worthy of acclaim." 4 of 4 stars-Online Book Club
