Work detailsBabycakes by Armistead Maupin (1984)
None. continued farfetched, mediocrely written enjoyable soap opera with lgbtq characters. (  ) elisa.saphier | Apr 2, 2013 |  My favourite of the TotC series so far. (  ) Hedrigall | Jul 11, 2012 | Things start getting a bit darker after the third book: AIDS has shifted Maupin's focus a bit, and he's beginning to get a bit tired of some of his characters. Mona and Mrs Madrigal are reduced to walk-on parts; Mary Ann still has plenty to do in this one, but she has become a far less sympathetic character than she was in the earlier books. Maupin makes the most of the opportunities for comedy that arise out of Michael going to England, and he gives some more depth to the character of Brian, so there's still plenty to smile about, but it doesn't really feel as though there's much ground for optimism. (  ) thorold | May 2, 2012 | I think this is the best yet of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. In addition to favourite characters Michael alias Mouse, Mary-Ann and Brian, Mona and Mrs Madrigal, we have a handsome young English sailor who jumps ship (the Britannia no less), a gay English lord, and a delightful young aborigine Londoner. If you haven’t guessed some of the action takes place in England. I read this some time after reading the preceding Tales of the City books, but very quickly picked up with the familiar characters. Full of unlikely coincidences, Babycakes is not just as funny, possibly even the funniest so far, but is also especially heart-warming with so many endearing individuals, Michael really wins our hearts as does his mischievous young aborigine friend. ( ) presto | Apr 25, 2012 | The fourth in the Tales of the City series. By now the reader is very attached to the characters and doesn't want this series to end.
