‘Some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read’ Guardian

Tranquillity reigns in the ancient redwood forest until a women-only music festival sets up camp downriver from an all-male retreat for the ruling class. Among those entangled in the ensuing mayhem are a lovesick nurseryman, a panic-stricken philanderer, and the world’s most beautiful fat woman. Significant Others is Armistead Maupin’s cunningly observed meditation on marriage, friendship and sexual nostalgia.
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.
