Armistead Maupin

Manchester Literature Festival are thrilled to present a special event with beloved and critically acclaimed American author Armistead Maupin.

One of our most distinctive storytellers, Maupin is the author of The Night Listener, Maybe The Moon, Michael Tolliver Lives, Mary Ann in Autumn and the bestselling Tales of the City series.

A charming and engaging raconteur, Maupin will be talking about his long-awaited memoir, Logical Family, chronicling his odyssey from the old South to freewheeling San Francisco, and his evolution from curious youth to ground breaking writer and gay rights pioneer.
