Publisher's Note: 'An extended love letter to a magical San Francisco.' --New York Times Book Review When an ordinary househusband and his ambitious wife decide to start a family, they discover there's more to making a baby then meets the eye. Help arrives in the form of a grieving gay neighbor, a visiting monarch, and the dashing young lieutenant who defects from her yacht. Bittersweet and profoundly affecting, Babycakeswas the first work of fiction to acknowledge the arrival of AIDS. 'Armistead is a true original. His tales are bang up-to-date. They will surprise and maybe even shock you, but, I promise, they will make you laugh.' --Ian McKellen 'Maupin has a genius for observation. His characters have the timing of vaudeville comics, flawed by human frailty and fueled by blind hop.' --Denver Post 'Armistead Maupin's San Francisco saga careens beautifully on.' --New York Times Book Review Visit the Tales of the City website at www.talesofthecity.com
