	Armistead Maupin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While Maupin has written on his website that it isn't entirely inconceivable that he would write another Tales of the City novel sometime in the future, he tells readers not to bank on it.
		Maupin grew up in North Carolina, where he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
		His name, "Armistead Maupin", is an anagram of "is a man I dreamt up", which prompted some speculation that it was pseudonymous.

	Tales of the City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1976, Maupin pitched a daily serial to the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle, and when they agreed, he drew from the same batch of characters.

		Maupin's books are also one of the first to deal with the AIDS epidemic and incorporate it into the series.

	glbtq >> literature >> Maupin, Armistead
		A sharp social critic, novelist Armistead Maupin places his gay characters within a large framework of humanity, creating a social history of San Francisco during the tumultuous decades of the 1970s and 1980s.
		Maupin is often compared to Charles Dickens: Each wrote originally for serial publication, each frames his art for a popular audience, and each examines critically the social array of his chosen city.
		Like Dickens's London, Maupin's San Francisco is populated by all sorts and conditions of humankind: waifs and scoundrels, high-society hypocrites and burghers complacent in their middle-class ways, and at the center, a group of earnest seekers after a happy life.

	Event Archive: Armistead Maupin - Commonwealth Club
		Maupin: This is basically from the reminiscing portions of the novel, where Gabriel Noone, the storyteller, looks back on his life and reflects on where he is now and how he got there.
		Maupin: This was a lot fresher a phenomenon a few years ago, but yes: During the ten years that Terry and I were together, most of the time we were in some ways emotionally preparing for his death, because he was HIV-positive and fighting it all the time.
		Maupin: I wrote the narration for the film The Celluloid Closet, which examined the way Hollywood handled gay people over the years; many of the points that Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman made in that movie five years ago are no longer valid, because the subject matter has been opened up dramatically.

		Maupin's fame arose from his Tales of the City which began as a ground-breaking newspaper serial deliciously dissecting the everyday realities and idiosyncrasies of popular culture.
		Maupin also is the author of Maybe the Moon, a 1992 novel which chronicles the misadventures of a dwarf actress working in Hollywood.

	The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		As with many of Maupin's novels, the book is a thinly veiled semi-autobiographical account of the birth of one relationship in the shadow of the death of another.
		Maupin may be attempting to reveal how an artist relies upon the power of truth and illusion and how these necessary tools of the trade can often burn their master, but Gabriel never lights anywhere long enough to create a rapport with the readers.
		Maupin has always been able to rely upon his strong storytelling skills, his sense of humor and his sensitive handling of character development, but for all its twists and turns, The Night Listener mostly proves that it's time to head back to 28 Barbary Lane.

		It was then that the Castro District's role as a haven for homosexuals became a widely visible motif--thanks mostly to Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, a daily serial that began appearing in the San Francisco Chronicle circa 1976.
		Maupin grew up not in California, but in Raleigh, N.C., where his patrician (and very right-wing) father rubbed elbows with the local gentry.
		Maupin denies feeling that way--although one can't help but wonder if he has suffered from the malady in question, since The Night Listener is Maupin's first book in eight years.

		But before this all gets too treacly, Maupin inserts a substantial twist into the story, one that alters both the relationship and the course in which the novel seemed to be headed.
		That Maupin also recently ended his relationship with his lover is no coincidence, and these sections, though candid and heartfelt, just distract from the central story line.
