When last we saw Michael "Mouse" Tolliver, in Sure of You, the sixth novel of Armistead Maupin's beloved Tales of the City series of novels, he was living with HIV. But lest anyone worry, Maupin is happy to reassure everyone that Michael Tolliver lives. That's also the title of his latest novel, which he insists is not a seventh TotC book, although reports are that characters from the earlier novels do make their appearances in this book as well.
Michael Tolliver Lives will be released on June 1. Publishers Weekly gives the forthcoming book a rave, saying "Maupin introduces a dazzling variety of real-life reference points, but the story belongs to Mouse, whose chartings of the transgressive, multigendered sex trends of San Francisco are every bit as lovable as Mouse's original wet jockey shorts contest in the very first Tales, back in 1978."
I, for one, can't wait for another installment.--David E
