This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

About Maupin's Newest Novel Michael Tolliver Lives

The stories follow the lives of the eccentric, mysterious, naive, jaded, up-and-coming, down-and-out, adventuresome, and withdrawn tenants in a Russian Hill, San Francisco boarding house located at 28 Barbary Lane. They include Anna Madrigal, a marijuana-smoking, fifty-something landlady who grows her own weed, Mary Ann Singleton, and Michael Tolliver, a gay man nicknamed "Mouse."

Maupin returns to "Mouse" in Michael Tolliver Lives almost twenty years after ending his saga of San Francisco life. The 55-year-old gardener tells his own story of having survived the AIDS epidemic that took so many of his friends and lovers.
