Maupin’s book and particularly the Tales series has made a lasting impact on my life and his character of Anna Madrigal is my favorite fictional character of all-time. I also discuss his stand-alone books, the various Tales adaptations and the beautiful legacy Maupin has created with his work.

What made it brave for 1978. How fortunate I was to be in a family who never fought back and never abused me. How most everyone came around over the years. Fortunate is an understatement. And how different it was from all the ways folks come out today as the gender and sexuality umbrella of terms expands and individuals redefines themselves.
