Fiction
Michael Tolliver, the sweet-spirited Southerner in
Armistead Maupin's classic Tales of the City series, is
arguably one of the most widely loved characters in
contem-porary fiction. Now, almost twenty years after ending
his ground-breaking saga of San Francisco life, Maupin
revisits his all-too-human hero, letting the
fifty-five-year-old gardener tell his story in his own
voice. Having survived the plague that took so many
of his friends and lovers, Michael has learned to embrace
the random pleasures of life, the tender alliances that
sustain him in the hardest of times. Michael Tolliver
Lives follows its protagonist as he finds love with a
younger man, attends to his dying fundamentalist mother in
Florida, and finally reaffirms his allegiance to a wise
octogenarian who was once his landlady. Though this
is a stand-alone novel—accessible to fans of Tales of the
City and new readers alike—a reassuring number of familiar
faces appear along the way. As usual, the author's mordant
wit and ear for pitch-perfect dialogue serve every aspect of
the story—from the bawdy to the bittersweet. Michael
Tolliver Lives is a novel about the act of growing older
joyfully and the everyday miracles that somehow make that
possible.
