Description
In 1962, New York City was on the cusp of change. For architect Frederick Bailey, this meant facing his own demons as he fought to save Pennsylvania Station from demolition. His life is turned upside down when he meets Curt, a charismatic young activist who challenges everything he thought he knew about himself. As the old train station is dismantled piece by piece, Frederick must confront the fractured psyches of mid-twentieth-century gay men and the nation on the brink of explosive cultural change. Patrick E. Horrigan's nuanced portrayal of this pivotal moment in history offers a powerful exploration of identity, passion, and the human condition. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s New York, Pennsylvania Station is a gripping novel that delves into the complexities of the human heart.
