Armistead Maupin's Thoughts on Mandarin Oriental, Kimpton's Goldfish and Hotel Porn
Armistead Maupin if you don't know him, is the author of the Tales of the City series about life for a group of eclectic individuals in San Francisco. Basically, he was Candace Bushnell (the author of Sex and the City) of the late 1970s except he's a gay man who doesn't seem to have a Manolo Blahnik obsession--that we know of. He even had a character named Connie Bradshaw. Hmmm...draw your own conclusions.
Maupin is also a pioneer for the LGBT community because during a time when these topics were still considered taboo, he wrote about the random sex, gay men, lesbian socialites, transsexuals, and AIDS. Yet he always made love--searching for it, having it, losing it-- the constant theme running throughout his books and in his characters.
Anyways, Maupin recently put out another book in the Tales series called, Michael Tolliver Lives. We were thrilled to get the latest installment but we were even more thrilled to learn that Maupin has been blogging about his world-wide book tour and dishing on all the hotels he's been staying in.
