The Story
The number one international bestseller by the author of Tales of the City'Wonderful, funny, poignant and gutsyâ MademoiselleâScathingly funny, hauntingâŚMaupin enlightens, entertains and empowers his readersâ Atlanta JournalâHighly funny and deeply poignantâŚWith a heartfelt resonance few male writers ever accomplish' Boston HeraldâPerfectly pitched and heartbreaking. There hasn't been a funnier, or sadder, novel this yearâ Entertainment Weekly__________All of thirty-one inches tall, Cadence (Cady) Roth is a true survivor in a town where - as she says - 'you can die of encouragement'. Her early leading role as a lovable elf in a smash-hit American film proved a major disappointment since moviegoers never saw the face behind the rubber mask. After a decade of hollow promises from the Industry, she is still waiting for the miracle that will make her a star. From her infrequent meetings with agents and studio moguls to her regular, harrowing encounters with small children, large dogs and human ignorance, we track our spunky heroine across the saffron-hazed wasteland of Los Angeles. Then one day a lanky piano player saunters into Cady's life, unleashing heady new emotions, and she finds herself going for broke, shooting the moon with a scheme so hare-brained and daring that it just might succeed... Maybe the Moon is the poignant and moving tale of an outsider told from the inside which eloquently speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.
