### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Maybe you don't know him as well as you thought you did!
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019*

Hampstead Maupin was politically incorrect before anyone had ever heard the term-and unapologetically so.  The author writes about the LGBTQ culture in the early 1970's San Francisco when gay was the term that included a transsexual landlady, homosexual male tenant who aspired to be a kept woman, a Fundamentalist set of parents who couldn't see the forest for the trees when they came from Florida to visit their son, a female fashion model who identified as black so that she would be more marketable even though both biological parents were Lily white, a lesbian tenant who wanted to revive her relationship with the black model, a homosexual male OBGYN WHO had a sexual encounter with a virile captain of industry whose wife had just come to see the doctor about getting an abortion, and tying everything together is an innocent young Secretary from Cleveland who quickly discovered that she and her little dog Toto were no longer in Kansas.  If you are able to set aside your preconceived prejudices for a short while, you are in for the ride of your life. There are five more books in Maupin's Tales of the City series, but I might just stop where I finished at the end of the first book because the other five could not possibly be as much fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting book
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023*

Problems with this book are the small font size and the faint ink. Both make is stressful for my eyes.

    Nostalgia lane.

If you’re familiar with the San Francisco of the 1970’s Maupin’s novel is a sweet reconnection with the city and the kind of people you could encounter on any given day. Just a sweet, funny, poignant stroll.
