Sure of You

"The books are essentially about forgiveness, acceptance, and love. I'm also fascinated by the huge gulf between the way things appear to be and the way they really are. My characters get into trouble when they stop being honest with each other, but that deceit becomes, invariably, their downfall. I think both those messages--of forgiveness and of the essential folly of deceit--probably come from my being gay. When you're a gay person, it's much easier to observe the gulf between truth and illusion, because you're often a part of creating it. You learn at a very early age to wear disguises. My work is about taking off those disguises."Maupin, Armistead is the author of 'Sure of You', published 1994 under ISBN 9780060924843 and ISBN 0060924845.
