I can't believe I hadn't read this sooner!
Of course, this famous work is still talked about to this day, and now I know why! Masterful storytelling and exceptional writing, Armistead Maupin is a genius author that creates a cast of characters that feel like real individuals.
Because I live near San Francisco, this work holds a lot more meaning because I recognize so many of these locations and neighborhoods; but I think this book makes it accessible to anyone and allows the reader to peak into the lives of these San Franciscans.
An amazing work, I can't say enough about. I plan on reading more from the series, particularly the second and third works, but I'm not sure I can read all TEN of the works in the series...but I may change my mind. We shall see...
