Critics Review
San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin
Like those of Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Armistead Maupin’s novels have all appeared originally as serials…it is the strength of this approach, with its fantastic adventures and astonishingly contrived coincidences, that makes these novels charming and compelling * Literary Review *A consummate entertainer…It is Maupin’s Dickensian gift to be able to render love convincingly * Times Literary Supplement *San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin * Independent *I know I was not the only one who was up until two in the morning, promising myself to stop after just one chapter – David Feinberg * The New York Times Book Review *Armistead Maupin’s acclaim is richly deserved. He uses suspense, mystery and coincidence far more inventively than the more typical novelist – Jonathan Coe * Guardian *Maupin is a richly gifted comic author * Observer *Maupin’s work is like a drug: it’s easy, it’s fun and it leaves you greedy for more…superb * The Australian *
About The Author
Armistead Maupin
Armistead Maupin was born in Washington, D.C. in 1944 but was brought up in Raleigh, North Carolina. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, he served as a naval officer in Vietnam before moving to California in 1971 as a reporter for the Associated Press. In 1976 he launched his daily newspaper serial, Tales of the City, in the San Francisco Chronicle. The first fiction to appear in an American daily for decades, Tales grew into an international sensation when compiled and rewritten as novels. Maupin’s six-volume Tales of the City sequence - Tales of the City, More Tales of the City, Further Tales of the City, Babycakes, Significant Others and Sure of You - are now multi-million bestsellers published around the world. He is also the author of two other bestselling novels, Maybe the Moon and The Night Listener, which was recently made into a film starring Robin Williams and Toni Collette.
