‘An enormously talented writer… By writing about what’s seemingly different Armistead Maupin always manages to capture what’s so hilariously painfully true for all of us’ Amy Tan

The calamity-prone residents of 28 Barbary Lane are at it again in this deliciously dark novel of romance and betrayal. While Anna Madrigal imprisons an anchor-woman in her basement, Michael Tolliver looks for love at the National Gay Rodeo, DeDe Halcyon Day and Mary Ann Singleton track a charismatic psychopath across Alaska, and society columnist Prue Giroux loses her heart to a derelict living in a San Francisco park.
For almost four decades Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City series has blazed its own trail through popular culture—from ground-breaking newspaper serials turned into ten classic novels, to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane dazzle in these sparkling, indelibly comedic portraits of an era that changed forever the way we live.
