I haven't read any of their books and was wondering if they worth it.

I know A. Maupin mainly wrote collections, I'd like to know if it's necessary to follow the order of the episodes or not.

Any suggestions?

:)
 
I've never read Maupin, but I've loved what I've read of Capote. His short stories are ace, and In Cold Blood is a must-read.

Oh, I didn't really like Summer Crossing, which was either his first novel, or it had been left unfinished and was published posthumously ... ? Something like that. I didn't care for that one.

That's the one I wanted to start with :lol:

Thanks :)
 
There are several books in the series by Maupin, and at least one stand alone novel -- I think, it's been years since I read them. If you're going to read more than one of the books in the series, you should read them in order. As I recall, the first one is one of the best ones.
