He's sailed and fished them for decades, riding out storms and danger. He's also been witness to the society of the Hamptons at its wildest. Given a choice, he prefers the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s, the Hamptons were in flux, inexorably shifting from the \"free love\" values of the 1960s to the affluent haven it is today. In six short stories, author Nick Catalano explores this transitional time, taking readers from the terror of a boat suddenly capsizing to one of the area's most exclusive discos. Along the way, he touches on squandered wealth, scandalous love affairs, and rampant alcoholism-all the decadent behavior you'd expect in a playground for the super rich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollowing up his exploration of the Hamptons, Catalano offers his previously published novella, \u003ci\u003eA New Yorker at Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, a revealing, darkly humorous examination of the psychological challenges of circumnavigating the globe-and other people's cultures-as an American. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy turns thrilling, funny, and reflective, \u003ci\u003eTales of a Hamptons Sailor\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the inevitable changes that beset a small community when the ultra rich invade, contrasting their impact with the ever-changing, beautiful, and dangerous force that is the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Catalano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aegeon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692315903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick Catalano is a jazz, film, and television critic and commentator who publishes monthly in \u003ci\u003eAll About Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArts \u0026amp; Opinion\u003c\/i\u003e, and other publications.
