Product Description
Product Description
Armistead Maupin is one of Britain''s leading writers of gay fiction. This biography reveals the journey that took Maupin from a middle class upbringing in North Carolina, to serve in the US Marines Vietnam to the writer of a series of novels.'
From the Back Cover
Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City grew from a small San Franciscan phenomenon into a six volume novel sequence that spawned two television miniseries and a benign global cult kept alive by an army of fiercely obsessive fans. As well as writing subsequent novels, Maybe the Moon and the forthoming The Night Listener, Maupin has become a generous champion of gay rights, accepting that what began as an entertainment for local readers has changed people's lives across the world. Thrown into gay politics when the Rock Hudson AIDS story first broke, by commiting one of the first acts of outing before the activity was even a verb, he has gone on to challenge mainstream thinking on subjects as diverse as drugs, dwarfs and gay teenagers.

A Good Book about a Great Author,

This review is from: Armistead Maupin (Paperback)
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.

You hate to finish this, as you do any of Armistead's work,
By A Customer
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)
