Just finished a book that I had originally thought a "gay niche" title until I saw it is on the L.A. Times best seller list as #4 -- Armistead Maupin's latest, Michael Tolliver Lives .
If you read Tales of the City or watched the excellent TV series, you will be familiar with the fact that Tolliver is "Mouse", one of the central characters of of the cast of characters first created in a newspaper serial.
The book shows Maupin has not lost his magical touch and updates the lives of the surviving characters into mid age. Altogether a wonderful read, few surprises and a few insights on aging that make it a worthwhile summer excursion.
