Local writer Carlos Mock held an official book-release party for his latest work—the thriller Mosaic Virus—on Jan. 16 at Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted. The event was one of a series of discussions that Mock and Felice Picano, a revered writer who resides in Los Angeles, led.
Picano has published more than 20 volumes of fiction, poetry, memoirs and other books. Considered a founder of modern gay literature along with the six other members of the Violet Quill Club, he also founded two publishing companies: the SeaHorse Press and Gay Presses of New York. Mock, who has also penned several works, lives in Chicago with his life partner, Bill Rattan.
