Industry Reviews
"Despite Maupin's trademark coziness and devotion to the sentimental, THE NIGHT LISTENER is a novel for an edgier era....Who knew one of the sweetest writers in America, known for his gentle comedies of manners, could also spin a solid page turner?...In the end, the reader is captivated and won't be able to get on with things until THE NIGHT LISTENER is wolfed down whole, like a midnight snack...."
Karbo

"Armistead Maupin has gone postmodern, and somewhat maudlin....[T]here is...little of the humour and energy that make his TALES OF THE CITY volumes so readable. There is also a pitiable image of the writer as someone easily undone by the desertion of his muse....Its lack of a neat resolution is one of the best things about this novel; that, and the intentional blurring of fact and fiction are what redeems a tale otherwise mired in self-pity...."
Richardson

"A touching but rather facile meditation on the way artists manipulate facts in their quest for truth....[S]trong storytelling, punchy humor, and a warmhearted narrator carry the day."
McLeese
