FURTHER TALES OF THE CITY

The calamity-prone residents of 28 Barbary Lane are at it again in this deliciously dark novel of romance and betrayal. While Anna Madrigal imprisons an anchor-
woman in her basement, Michael Tolliver looks for love at the National Gay Rodeo, DeDe Halcyon Day and Mary Ann Singleton track a charismatic psychopath across Alaska, and society columnist Prue Giroux loses her heart to a derelict living in a San Francisco Park.

“Maupin has a genius for observation. His characters [are] flawed by human frailty and fueled by blind hope.”   - Denver Post

“What makes Maupin’s writing so rich and humorous is the way he juxtaposes the goings-on of irreversibly different worlds, flirtatiously overlapping them at times.”
                                                                                                  - St. Louis Post Dispatch

“Magically readable…I love Maupin’s books for very much the same qualities that make me love the novels of Dickens.”  - Christopher Isherwood
