Customer Reviews

The teller of the tales

I loved this biography, found it to be a fascinating read which gave me insights into the story behind Tales Of The City. Armistead Maupin comes across as a likeable guy. I particularly enjoyed reading about his early years, brought up in an old Southern family with its traditions.

A Good Book about a Great Author

THis book seems to be an ode from one of Maupin's serious fans. It was great insight on Maupins, his life, and who he is. I suggest reading Maupins novels before looking into this.

Excellent book !

I highly recommend this book. Enjoyed reading it. The book was funny. Touching. Very real. Gives great insights to the books that Armisted Maupin has written; makes your appreciate them more. Very well written book. I strongly agree with the points of views expressed.Eagerly awaiting the next Armisted Maupin book coming out soon.

You hate to finish this, as you do any of Armistead's work

If you are a Tales of The City fan, an Armistead Maupin fan, you will love this book. I couldn't put the book down. It gives more detail than "Armistead Maupin Is A Man I Made Up" (movie), but in a similar fashion, with much input from Armistead himself.It is a little fix while waiting for the Night Listener to be published (which I am, anxiously)
