Maupin has a keen ear for the ways words are used and a keen eye for small details that you find yourself often saying, "yes, that is exactly right." The subject matter makes people who find themselves on the margins able to, well, find themselves. I have loved this series from the beginning. It taught me. It entertained me. It captured me. The last two books - this one and the one before it - were important to finish the story but, honestly neither held up to the first ones. I am glad to hear what has happened to all the characters and the Burning Man setting was perfect. But, I'm not sad this is the end. This book was pretty good. I liked it, but I didn't love it. The main character is Anna Madrigal, a 92 year old transgender woman. The story goes back and forth between her at 92, and her life as a 16 year old boy named Andy. I really enjoyed the story of her past, and how she came to pick out her name, Madrigal. The story set in the present was not quite as interesting to me, maybe because there were many more characters to divide the focus. I did enjoy when they all went to Burning Man. I have never gone there, but the descriptions were very vivid.
