Book Description:
Here is the much-anticipated new work from one of America's literary icons--a gripping novel of suspense that explores the boundaries of the human heart.

Gabriel Noone is a teller of tales, a writer whose cult-hit radio serial "Noone at Night" brought him into the homes of millions, including an ailing 13-year-old boy named Pete Lomax. Meeting through extraordinary circumstances, Noone develops a remarkable friendship with Pete, a connection that evolves into a profound mystery that will blur the lines between truth and illusion, and lead Noone to confront all of his relationships--familial, romantic, and erotic--knowledge that will alter his perception of himself and his life forever.

The Night Listener is Armistead Maupin's most ambitious and daringly imaginative novel, a tale that will challenge and move his many fans as never before

A more or less true story, masquerading as fiction, about Maupin's experience with the *author* of a purported non-fiction book, "A Rock and a Hard Spot". This is a bizarre story and an interesting read but not for the homophobic. There are some retty graphic descriptions of gay male relationships.

Loved it! Great story. Suspenseful but with a great heart.

Very engaging, quick read that might leave you scratching your head at the very end, but you'll "get it" after you think on it for a little while. Clear, crisp prose and realistic characters that draw you in and keep your attention to the very end.

Strange book...........

Semi-autobiographical book about the live of an author of a radio drama. Maupin is brilliant as always!

If you enjoy this author you will like this novel. It was kind of nice to read something unconnected to his "Tales" series.

Deliciously haunting read unlike any of Maupin's other books. The ending will totally blow your mind...
