One of the most acclaimed sagas of our time…A celebration of life in all its craziness…As good as anything Maupin has offered us -- John Sutherland * The Times * The brilliance of Maupin is his mingling of high camp with tragedy and deep feeling – all with a miraculously light touch -- Daily Mail * Wendy Holden * A proper Maupin-esque swansong – moving, funny and obscene. We expect nothing less -- Isabel Berwick * Financial Times * Christopher Isherwood was absolutely correct when he declared Maupin to be the Dickens of the modern world -- Chuck Palahniuk The Tales of the City sequence has been one of the literary menus plaisirs of the past decade - Maupin with his elegance and charm has found a place among the classics * Observer * May well be the funniest series of novels currently in progress...Maupin's ear for dialogue is as acute as his feeling for characterisation, and the net result is as engaging a read as you are likely to encounter * The Times * Comedy in its most classical form...some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read * Guardian *
