New Tales of the City Book

JWBear · 12-04-2006, 10:03 AM

For any Tales of the City fans… I just found out that Armistead Maupin has a new book coming out this summer. Michael Tolliver Lives! focuses on "Mouse" and how his life is at 55, living with HIV.

If you’ve never read the original “Tales” books, I highly recommend them. They’re incredible.

I love the "Tales" books. I'm totally going to read this one when it comes out.

Actually, she would be 86 this year. (The books gives her age as 56 in 1976, and turning 65 in 1985.)

BTW this visit to San Francisco, I want to go see Macondry Lane (being the one they used for Barbary Lane, I believe)

I was an extra in the British TV production. When it finally aired, I couldn't watch it. The scenes of life before so many of my friends died of AIDS were too hard to sit through. Years later, I was able to sit and cry through it.

I still haven't been able to watch Angels in America, and I stage managed a production of it!

I've decided to re-read all 6 books before the new one comes out.
