P RAISE FOR A RMISTEAD M AUPIN
    “I love Maupin’s novels for very much the same qualities that make me love the novels of Dickens.”
    Chirstopher Isherwood
    “A consummate entertainer who has made a generation laugh….[Maypin] works his dialogue with a jeweller’s precision and a playwright’s deployment of dramatic irony.”
    Edmund White, Times Literary Supplement
    “Armistead Maupin has this uncanny way of providing a different sort of mirror on life, which he then rotates to a particular angle, so that we can see the backs of our own heads—that wayward cowlick, the bald spot we’ve been trying to cover up, what’s really on our minds.”
    Amy Tan
    “Maupin has a genius for observation. His characters have the timing of vaudeville comics, flawed by human frailty and fueled by blind hope.”
    Denver Post
    “Armistead Maupin is a first rate, world-class novelist, creating characters so vivid, complicated, tender, and true as to seem utterly timeless…I’m willing to bet that fifty years from now Maupin’s work will be read for its detailed describtions of late twentieth century America, its rollicking humor and kind heart, its Chekovian compassion, its Wildean wit, its intricate…sometimes unbelievable but always utterly irresistible plotlines.”
    Stephen McCauley
    “Like those of Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Armistead Maupin’s novels have all appeared originally as serials. It is the strength of this approach, with its fantastic adventures and ashonishingly contrived coincidences, that makes these novels charming and compelling. Everything is explained and everything tieed up and nothing is lost by reading them individually. There is no need even to read them chronologically.”
