Synopsis

Book by Maupin Armistead

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'The Tales of the City sequence has been one of the literary menus plaisirs of the last decade...Maupin, with all his elegance and charm, has found a place among the classics'

Jonathan Keates, Observer

In this, the sixth and final self-contained volume of Armistead Maupin's epic chronicle of modern life, a fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco.Wistful and compassionate yet subversively funny, Sure of You is a triumphant finale to one of the most addictively entertaining series of novels ever written.

'Maupin's work is like a drug;: it's easy, it's fun and it leaves you greedy for more...superb'

Christina Thompson, The Australian

'I know I was not the only one who was up until two in the morning, promising myself to stop after just one more chapter'

David Feinberg, New York Times Book Review

'Armistead Maupin's acclaim is richly deserved. He uses suspense, mystery and coincidence far more inventively than the more typical novelist'

Jonathan Coe, Guardian

"A consummate entertainer...It is Maupin's Dickensian gift to be able to render love convincingly" (Times Literary Supplement)

"San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin" (Independent)

"I know I was not the only one who was up until two in the morning, promising myself to stop after just one chapter" (David Feinberg The New York Times Book Review)

"Armistead Maupin's acclaim is richly deserved. He uses suspense, mystery and coincidence far more inventively than the more typical novelist" (Jonathan Coe Guardian)
