5.0 out of 5 stars You hate to finish this, as you do any of Armistead's work, October 16, 1999

This review is from: Armistead Maupin (Paperback)

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)

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.

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.
