| Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin. List Price:£11 |
 |
Michael Tolliver, the sweet-spirited Southerner in Armistead Maupin's classic "Tales of the City" series, is arguably the most beloved gay character in fiction. Now, almost twenty years after ending his groundbreaking saga of San Francisco life, Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero, letting the 55-year-old gardener tell his story in his own voice. Having survived the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers, Michael has learned to embrace the random pleasures of life, the tender alliances that sustain him in the hardest of times, "Michael Tolliver Lives" follows its protagonist as he finds love with a younger man, attends to his dying fundamentalist mother in Florida, and finally reaffirms his allegiance to a wise octogenarian who was once his landlady. While Maupin insists that this book is not, strictly speaking, a continuation of "Tales of the City", a reassuring number of familiar faces appear along the way. As usual, the author's mordant wit and ear for pitch-perfect dialogue serve every aspect of the story - from the bawdy to the bittersweet. "Michael Tolliver Lives" is a novel about the act of growing older joyfully and the everyday miracles that somehow make that possible.

| The Marble Quilt by David Leavitt. List Price:$24.00 |
 |
In these stories, David Leavitt surveys, with characteristic grace and intelligence, the complicated terrain of human relationships, both in the present and the past. In The Infection Scene, a young man's determined effort to contract HIV is juxtaposed with an account of the early life of Lord Alfred Douglas. In the title story, an expatriate tries to make sense of his former partner's senseless murder. In Crossing St. Gotthard, the members of an American family traveling in Europe at the turn of the twentieth century find themselves confronting their own mortality as they plunge into a train tunnel in Switzerland. And in Black Box, the partner of a man killed in a plane crash is drawn into an unholy alliance with a fellow crash widow. Moving from Rome to San Francisco to Florida, from fin-de-siècle London to Hollywood in the early 1960s, these stories showcase the agility and sensitivity that have earned David Leavitt his reputation as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary short fiction.

| Married Man, The by Edmund White |
 |
Austin Smith, 49-year-old American cultural journalist and 18th-century French furniture specialist living in Paris, meets Julien, 29-year-old French architect, at the gym. Although Julien is The Married Man, it's not long before the two are an established couple, attempting to deal with Julien's unexpected illness, his mysterious family past and his conventional bourgeois mores--so distant from those espoused by 1970s gay product Austin--as they flit with "Aids-restlessness" between Paris and the French countryside, Italy, North Africa and the US.

| My Worst Date by David Leddick. List Price:£9.99 |
 |
"Young man finding his way in a new sexual world" is a common theme in gay male fiction. But what about "young man finds himself working as a stripper, playing a featured part on a nighttime soap opera, and then dating his mother's boyfriend." Hugo, the hero of My Worst Date has a lot to learn about life, and, boy, is he learning fast. David Leddick's prose is charming and insightful, his characters are world-weary but still eager, and his sense of humor and empathy is on target. Set in the semimythical gay world of South Beach, Florida, My Worst Date is a romp with feeling that has some smart things to say.
