Summary: A Fast, Fun, Revealing Read
Review: This is Maupin's first work in years, and while it's hard not to suspect autobiographical undercurrents - or surface currents, really - this does not distract from the overall result. If you are a Maupin fan, you already own it - but if you don't, you should. If you haven't read Maupin before, this is an excellent choice for a start (although, Tales of the City is the classic choice).Maupin keeps the story moving nicely, while keeping the daily, human events in the story. Many of his asides ground the story in a reality that anyone from the Bay Area would recognize. His relationships between the characters are both simple and complex, unlikely and relistic ... dichotomous. I haven't laughed with Maupin like this for a few books now. Let us hope he continues writing at this level or better.

Summary: incredible
Review: This was just an excellent book, so different from what else is out there to read. I recommend this book to anyone (unless you have a real problem with homosexuality). If so, it wouldn't be your cup of tea. I enjoy reading about people's lives that are different than mine.
I intend to read everything he's written.
