A late-night radio host befriends a young boy dying of AIDS, a victim of parental sexual abuse. Basis for the Patrick Stettner-directed 2006 film, starring Robin Williams. "Maupin's return to the fictional fold after an eight-year hiatus contains the characteristics we have come to love about the Balzac of the Bay: joys, heartbreaks, offbeat characters, witty dialogue, painful revelations and, of course, just enough sex to titillate." –Atlanta Journal-Constitution
