Armistead Maupin On Finding His 'Logical Family'

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 2, 2017

Best-selling author Armistead Maupin joins us to discuss his memoir Logical Family. While best-known as the author of the nine-part series “Tales of the City,” Maupin now reflects on his own life and his time growing up in conservative North Carolina. He also writes about life in early 1970s San Francisco, and how he evolved into a gay rights pioneer.

Armistead Maupin will appear in conversation with Jonathan Groff at the 92Y (1395 Lexington Ave., between 91st and 92nd St. ) on Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. Tickets are sold out, but a waiting list is available. The talk will be available at 92YOnDemand.org on Oct. 4.

The film "The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin" is also running at the Metrograph (7 Ludlow St., at Canal St.) through Oct. 5.
