Babycakes

"Maupin's San Francisco saga careens beautifully on." —New York Times Book Review

The fourth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.

When an ordinary househusband and his ambitious wife decide to start a family, they discover there’s more to making a baby than meets the eye. Help arrives in the form of a grieving gay neighbor, a visiting monarch, and the dashing young lieutenant who defects from her yacht. Bittersweet and profoundly affecting, Babycakes was the first piece of fiction to acknowledge the arrival of AIDS.

Audible version doesn't match text version

Maupin's a great reader, but this audio version of Babycakes seems extremely abridged. It leaves out entire paragraphs and chapters that exist in the written version of the book.
