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.

    How I have missed these old friends? I don't know why it took me so long to read this after it was released, perhaps I needed to be in the right frame of mind. A recent trip to San Francisco reminded me of them, and I just finished reading Michael Tolliver lives on a beautiful early fall day in DC. If you loved the series, this is a must read, if for no other reason than to revisit old friends once again.
  • Good, easy read

    I'm lying here in bed feeling like I've just gotten off the phone after the most satisfying conversation with a great friend I haven't seen in twenty years. A wonderful quick read. Thank you, Armistead!
