Fred
in Love "Having always been allergic to cats, reading Felice Picano's new book about his beloved cat Fred was so vivid that it caused sneezing and made my eyes water."—Bob Smith, author of Openly Bob In the early 1970s, when he was still an
aspiring, unpublished writer, Felice Picano began a remarkable
relationship with an extraordinary animal: a days-old kitten
slated for euthanasia who refused to perish. Rescued, named,
and trained, Fred became an extraordinarily intelligent companion,
ally, teacher, and constant wonder to the author as he began
his ascent through the Bohemian circles of Greenwich Village,
among musicians, actors, curious characters, and even the famous
British actress in hiding right next door. "A lovely, not too nostalgic portrait
of what is now a vanished bohemia." "A beautifully written roman à clef centered on the felicitous and mysterious connection between Man and Cat."—Tony Mendoza, author of Ernie: A Photographer's Memoir
