Maupin's title character is a mid-fifties gay man in San Francisco who has outlived many of his contemporaries, and who is now established in a May-December marriage with a younger man. Maupin sometimes provides TMI about the couple's sex life, but also peoples his book with richly and sympathetically drawn characters, both gay and straight.
