Reviews"With rare authority, humor and stunning grace, Maupin (Tales of the City) explores the risks and consolations of intimacy while illuminating the mysteries of the storytelling impulse. Noone's will to make the world more gorgeous, dramatic and satisfying than it is betrays much about the measure of the human heart." -- Chicago Tribune "[A] tense, tender novel." -- Entertainment Weekly "The long awaited new novel by the irresistible Armistead Maupin--the writer with the map of the human heart tattooed on his brain." -- Vanity Fair "Engaging. . . both a mystery and a meditation on the mutability of identity." -- Time magazine "[Maupin] takes Hitchcock one step further, building a literary house of mirrors, window-dressing it as a mystery and leaving the reader guessing from the second page." -- Washington Post Book World "Maupin's return to the fictional fold after an eight-year hiatus contains the characteristics we have come to love about the Balzac of the Bay: joys, heartbreaks, offbeat characters, witty dialogue, painful revelations and, of course, just enough sex to titillate." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Maupin's characters are wonderfully alive and memorable, and The Night Listener is Maupin's most accomplished work to date." -- Denver Post "Maupin is arguably Dickens' nearest stylistic heir to be found in writing today." -- The Buffalo News "Readers will be drawn to the novel for Maupin's splendid storytelling skills and his ability to place real people in seemingly ridiculous, exciting situations, and in that they won't be disappointed." -- Austin Chronicle "With his new book, The Night Listener, humor remains a pivotal element. Yet Maupin has turned a darker, more melancholy corner. His simple narrative style is suddently infused with an emotional complexity." -- Rocky Mountain News "Maupin fills the book with interesting characters and individual scenes of great power. . . . A superior entertainment." -- Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

Synopsis"With rare authority, humor and stunning grace, Armistead Maupin (Tales of the City) explores the risks and consolations of intimacy while illuminating the mysteries of the storytelling impulse. Noone's will to make the world more gorgeous, dramatic and satisfying than it is betrays much about the measure of the human heart." --Chicago Tribune "I'm a fabulist by trade," warns Gabriel Noone, a late-night radio storyteller, as he begins to untangle the skeins of his tumultuous life: his crumbling ten-year love affair, his disaffection from his Southern father, his longtime weakness for ignoring reality. Gabriel's most sympathetic listener is Pete Lomax, a thirteen-year-old fan in Wisconsin whose own horrific past has left him wise and generous beyond his years. But when this virtual father-son relationship is rocked by doubt, a desperate search for the truth ensues. Welcome to the complex, vertiginous world of The Night Listener...., "With rare authority, humor and stunning grace, Armistead Maupin (Tales of the City) explores the risks and consolations of intimacy while illuminating the mysteries of the storytelling impulse.

But when this virtual father-son relationship is rocked by doubt, a desperate search for the truth ensues. Welcome to the complex, vertiginous world of The Night Listener...., 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
