Synopsis

Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed a singular trail through popular culture--from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The first of six novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales is both a wry comedy of manners and a deeply involving portrait of a vanished era. Absolutely essential, you won't be able to put this book down. The adventures of Mary Ann Singleton, Mouse, Brian and Mona - all tenants of Mrs. Madrigal at 82 Barbary Lane are singularly marvelous.
