Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City
The sixth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.
A fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco. Caught in the middle is their longtime friend, a gay man whose own future is even more uncertain.
Wistful and compassionate yet subversively funny, Sure of You is the pitch-perfect sixth novel in Armistead Maupin’s legendary Tales of the City series.

Historia
All of 31 inches tall, Cady is a true survivor in a town where, as she says, "you can die of encouragement". Her early starring role as a lovable elf in an immensely popular American film proved a major disappointment, since moviegoers never saw the face behind the stifling rubber suit she was required to wear. Now, after a decade of hollow promises from the Industry, she is reduced to performing at birthday parties and bat mitzvahs as she waits for the miracle that will finally make her a star.

Historia
Nick Russo has worked his way from a rough Brooklyn neighborhood to a reporting job at one of the city’s biggest newspapers. But the late 1950s are a hostile time for gay men, and Nick knows that he can’t let anyone into his life. He just never counted on meeting someone as impossible to say no to as Andy. Andy Fleming’s newspaper-tycoon father wants him to take over the family business. Andy, though, has no intention of running the paper. He’s barely able to run his life.

It’s easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, and all-around diva, Porter was a young boy who didn’t fit in.

From the author of The Remains of the Day, here is a novel that is at once a gripping psychological mystery, a wicked satire of the cult of art, and a poignant character study of a man whose public life has accelerated beyond his control. The setting is a nameless Central European city where Ryder, a renowned pianist, has come to give the most important performance of his life. Instead, he finds himself diverted on a series of cryptic and infuriating errands that nevertheless provide him with vital clues to his own past.

And yet against all odds Mungo and James become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds.

There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art. The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity.

He still holds out hope in a tiny corner of his heart, but even in his wildest dreams he never thought he’d meet the Crown Prince of England, much less do a lot more with him.

Fabulous series
Well this is the last one of the original 6 in the series. Should be interesting how they change some of what’s all ready happened in the new series coming out on Netflix next week

Not So Sure … Imperfect End of a Terrific 6-Book Series
I love these characters and I enjoyed the first five audiobooks immensely. Frances McDormand and Cynthia Nixon and Alan Cumming delivered stellar performances in books one through five. But in this final book, Eric McCormack missed the mark in many ways. He doesn’t seem to understand the ethereal, Zen mellow of Anna and he adopts an annoyingly sissy lispy voice for Thack. I found his performance so grating that I considered returning the audiobook after two or three short chapters.

One of the best books in the series
I really enjoyed this book. I think it is one of the best in the series. I do not agree with the reviewer who called the narration "the worst ever". On the contrary, I also find the narrator Eric McCormack to be excellent. His narration is lively, engaging and pleasant to listen to. Highly recommended.

Another great one…‼️
Out of the original six, I was looking forward to the narration by Eric McCormack the most. Though, for me, there will not be any comparison to Armistead’s dulcet tones, Eric has been the best of celeb narrators from the original six books. If only, Armistead would record unabridged versions of the original six and the last two…

An Unsatisfactory Conclusion
Sure of You was meant to be the ending of Tales of the Cities series. Thankfully Maupin revisited the characters 20 years later, adding 3 more volumes to the bring a proper conclusion to the tales.
Mary Ann has become everything she initially despised upon fleeing Ohio. She abandons both her husband and child for fame and fortune. Brian has become weak and easily dominated by Mary Ann. Michael, yes his same steady self, having found new love. Mona is around for only a brief cameo. Sadly, Mrs. Madrigal is given very little to do, and is absent for most of the story.
My biggest issue with this recording is Eric McCormack. He is a serviceable narrator, but nowhere near as good as Cynthia Nixon had been in previous installments. It felt as if I was listening to Will read a book to Jack.
My actual rating for this is 3.5. The book is well written and engaging but nowhere near as fun as previous installments.

Motormouth who doesn’t get the characters. 2.5 stars.
Hmm. This isn’t my first experience with this story, and imo, McCormick doesn’t seem to get these characters in the way I’ve always heard them. I wish Frances McDormand or Cynthia Nixon did this one as well as the majority of the others, but it’s not totally awful. I recommend listening to it on .08 or .09… he will sound slightly drunk sometimes, but at least he doesn’t sound like he’s on speed.

Total heartache
I love these books, and these characters, dearly. And I have to admit that this is why I soldiered through this one. Be warned: this is not a happy, feel-good book. It is dominated by hurt and anger. It is an emotionally difficult read. The characters seem weary and bitter, even jaded. You will ache on their behalf, throughout.
I have to say that McCormack is the best narrator yet. He glades between characters easily and helps craft the story with his vocal talents. A perfect choice!

worst narrator ever!!!
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Eric McCormack?
Absolutely anyone. His performance was hands down the worst I have ever heard. He doesn't connect with any of the characters and some of his interpretations are border line offensive and always full on annoying. It was nails on a chalk board but since it's book 6 I had to finish it. I was literally wincing in parts, especially his Prue Giroux!!! Unbelievably horrible.
