Hornito: My Lie Life

Juxtaposing a trip to his childhood home — where he has retreated to try to make some sense of his hectic existence in New York City — with memories of growing up gay in seventies suburbia, Albo creates "Mike Albo." This character's memories are from a fictitious life that's outrageous, hilarious, and embarrassingly real. From a typical suburban childhood to his perpetual search for true love, Albo evokes a poignant, nostalgic past and a vibrant, energetic present. By turns vulnerable and jaded, flamboyant and obsessive, Hornitois full of subversive humor and outrageous irony.
