A gay drug smuggler's transcendent odyssey in the heyday of Studio 54

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the heyday of Studio 54, a naïve gay college student is seduced by a demonic Svengali into smuggling a hash-lined suitcase from India, but detours to a mystical ashram and explores new worlds. The untested disciple must then find his way back to New York for the biggest score of all - saving his own soul. Dropping out of art school, Louie Mandrapilias moved to New York City to pursue a brief career in drug smuggling, followed by a journey into the art of woodworking in a Midtown Manhattan loft. He returned to the University of Houston to complete his B.A. in Graphic Design. Louie has spent the past forty years in the world of media -including LGBTQ+ publishing pioneers The Advocate and Out magazines-and designing for luxury brands Fortuny Fabrics and Agraria Home Fragrances. An imaginary conversation with his father resulted in his memoir 'Flew Too High'. Coming full circle, Louie recently completed a full renovation of a historic Brooklyn brownstone. He lives a blessed life in the City of Angels.
