Recensione:
"More than enough charm, wit and pathos to keep even a Maupin virgin enthralled" (Independent)
"A book of considerable charm" (Daily Mail)
"Comedy in its most classical form... some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read" (Guardian)
"May well be the funniest series of novels currently in progress... Maupin's ear for dialogue is as acute as his feeling for characterisation, and the net result is as engaging a read as you are likely to encounter" (The Times)
"The Tales of the City sequence has been one of the literary menus plaisirs of the past decade - Maupin with his elegance and charm has found a place among the classics" (Observer)
