To love your fellow human beings and pardon their failings...up to a point, that is. Check Norman Neal Williams and Beauchamp and you'll know what I mean. But I've rarely read a novelist whit so profound a understanding of human nature, whit such piety, and whit such a clear mind on what kind of behaviour just can't be tolerated. The behaviour of those who won't respect their fellow humans rights and freedom. The unkind, selfish, cruel and uncaring. Armistead Maupin's stories are a masterpiece on the study of human soul, and of the complex interaction of individualities each one seeking his of her realization. His comedie humaine is far superior, for his empathy, to the cold, harsh and pessimistic stories of some celebrated minimalists of our time."; 2.3 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 754 pages.
