Forty years ago the Sullivanians were exposed by NewYork Magazine and the Village Voice for their insidious practices, but as far as I know, Through A Blue Window is the only first-hand accounting, and the next episode of the podcast is about Amagansett and the group.
I'd been in the group for six months, but I had no idea what to expect as I headed out to the East End of Long Island to spend the summer cleaning summerhouses. It was Memorial Day 1974, and during the long train ride, I finally learned the details of what had only previously been alluded to and the importance of maintaining a veil of secrecy from the locals.
This episode is also about Monica Cipro, the first and only relationship I had with a woman, and despite falling in love with each other that summer, a cold wind of conflicting views about the group ended what had barely begun.
I would spend four more years in the group. You can see the complete documentary on my YouTube channel shellfein1
