The Days of Anna Madrigal, Armistad Maupin, 270 pages
The Days of Anna Madrigal is the ninth and final installment of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City Series, which began in 1978. Even if you have not read the aforementioned series before, this is still a lively book with a lot to offer the reader. Maupin initially published Tales of the City in serialized form in The San Fransico Chronicle, one of the first examples of gay characters viewed as equals to their straight counterparts of its kind.
This is a fast read that is humorous and endearing for the reader. I would have to say that its target audience is probably for readers over the age of thirty, but still entertaining to say the least.
