Author Reads Chapters In The Hamptons

A Rendezvous at the Gazebo

This week, author Dan Rattiner takes his new book and microphone to two Montauk locations, to read chapters from In the Hamptons: My Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities. On Saturday, May 24 at 11 a.m. on the Plaza in Montauk, Rattiner presents "Life in a Haunted Skyscraper," about his adventures in the upper floors of what was then an abandoned seven-story office building, and recounted in the chapter entitled "Frank Tuma, Jr."

At 2 p.m. on the soccer field behind the office building, Rattiner will read the chapter "Frank Mundus," the story of the famous shark fishermen who became the true life model for the fishing boat captain Quint in the movie Jaws.
