Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The author of "Further Tales of the City" pens the story of Gabriel Noone, a late-night radio host who is drawn into the life of a sexually abused 13-year-old boy. As their friendship develops, troubling questions arise, exploding Noone's comfortable assumptions.

Review:

"Maupin's squeaky clean style, seductive sentimentality, and gift for disarming patter make for a most appealing read, a kind of, not magic realism, but pretty, magical melodrama." Booklist

Review:

"A page-turner...holds our interest in a vise grip." San Francisco Chronicle

Review:

"The long awaited new novel by the irresistible Armistead Maupin — the writer with the map of the human heart tattooed on his brain." Vanity Fair

Synopsis:

After an absence of eight years, the author of "Tales of the City" returns with the tale of Gabriel Noone, a writer whose cult-hit radio serial, "Noone at Night", has brought him into the homes of millions. When he befriends a boy who suffered horrific sexual abuse at the hands of his parents, troubling new questions arise, exploding Noone's comfortable assumptions and causing his ordered existence to spin out of control.
