Whatever happened to newspaper serials? They are like soap operas in book form. It's taken me forever to get to this series, but I had a good time with it, and Maupin makes the stories accessibly timeless. I wonder how close the novelization hews to the original newspaper version, though it seems reasonably tame other than the drug references. And if you overlook some of the brand names, it feels reasonably timeless to me, though I've never been to San Fran. I have the next few books in a box somewhere, so I guess it's about time to dig them out.
