Nearly two decades after ending his groundbreaking Tales of the City saga of San Francisco life, Armistead Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero Michael Tolliver—the fifty-five-year-old sweet-spirited gardener and survivor of the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers—for a single day at once mundane and extraordinary . . . and filled with the everyday miracles of living.
Maupin's goodness, humility and wisdom come through so clearly in this novella. It can be enjoyed by itself or as an epilogue to the Tales of the City stories. I defy anyone, gay or straight, to listen to this man without falling in love with him. I promise that you'll hate to have the last disk reach its end.
