The two together depict the author's early years struggling to become a writer in the sexed-up, boozy, drug-ridden world of Long Island's North Shore in the 1970s. It concludes with \u003ci\u003eTriangles in the Sand\u003c\/i\u003e, a new, previously unpublished memoir of Killian's brief affair in the 1970s with the composer Arthur Russell. \u003ci\u003eFascination\u003c\/i\u003e offers a moving and often funny view of the loneliness and desire that defined gay life of that era--a time in which Richard Nixon's resignation intersected with David Bowie's \u003ci\u003eDiamond Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e--from one of the leading voices in experimental gay writing of the past thirty years. \"Move along the velvet rope,\" Killian writes in \u003ci\u003eBedrooms Have Windows\u003c\/i\u003e, \"run your shaky fingers past the lacquered Keith Haring graffito: 'You did not live in our time!
