Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Michael Tolliver Lives

That’s the title of the next book in Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City series. It follows the last book after a break of almost twenty years. The world it will describe has changed utterly, and I can’t wait to read it. If you don’t know Maupin’s or the Tales’ background, there’s a good article in today’s Guardian Review.
 
Update: Oh dear, Philip Hensher gives it a stinking review in today’s Observer. Perhaps the love affair is over…

    I loved that series!  I saw it on telly in the States in the early 90s and then went and devoured the novels.  Maupin’s been afourite ever since.  Apart from the stories, the telly series also introduced me to Olympia Dukakis and Laura Linney for the first time, two very under-utilised actresses.  Thanks for the tip, Geoff, I’m looking forward to this.

    Coboró, see my update. I’m thinking I need to check out other reviews before plunking down my hard-earned cash.

    Philip Hensher is the guy who tutored my writing course last summer. He’s just one reviewer remember. He wasn’t that keen on some of my own well loved writers. I often find I don’t agree with reviews, I’m sure you do too.
