More stories of the outsized and the ordinary from the editor and publisher of Dans Papers.
This is Dan Rattiners fourth collection of essays about the fishermen, farmers, celebrities, billionaires, and artists who live, work, and play in the Hamptons. As the founder and publisher of Dans Papers, a weekly community newspaper, Rattiner knows the Hamptons backwards and forwards, and stories of his encounters on the South Fork of Long Island give readers a greater understanding of how this community has changed over the years and the major figures who have shepherded these changes along.
In addition to well-known faces such as Dr. Oz and billionaires like Ira Rennert and his wifewho built the second-largest private home in Americayoull also read about motel owners, art gallery owners, an ad salesman for Dans Papers, and a philanthropist who at one time had nearly a dozen historical buildings on her $100 million property in East Hampton. The book also provides some of the hoaxes and tall tales that the author has fabricated over the years to entertain the readers of Dans Papers, including the moving radar tower at Montauk, the great Ecuadorian eel attack, and the Hamptons subway.
Dans book, as does his newspaper, creates a chronicle of the women and men who have chosen to live in this magical place over these different decades, so one gets a very personal picture of how it was and is. Dans seen it all and isnt keeping it under his very real hat. from the Foreword by Barbara L. Goldsmith
