  • "For more than three decades Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed its own 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 sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that changed forever the way we live."@en
  • "Tales of the lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane: the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton ; the libidinous Brian Hawkins ; Mona Ramsey, still in a Sixties trance ; Michael "Mouse" Tolliver, forever in bright-eyed pursuit of Mr. Right ; and their indefatigable, marijuana-growing landlady, Mrs. Madrigal."
  • "In this first book of the best-selling cult series, Armistead Maupin creates a hilarious take-off on the "awakened" 70s in San Francisco. When Mary Ann, 25 and naive, joins Anna Madrigal's bizarre household, she knows she has a lot to learn about love and vice -- and this is the group to teach her."

  • "Set in 1976 in San Francisco, Tales of the City is the first of a sequence of novels about the unconventional tenants of 28 Barbary Lane, the domain of the eccentric, marijuana-growing landlady, Anna Madrigal. Mary Ann Singleton, a naive young woman newlyarrived from Cleveland, Ohio, moves into an apartment there and soon becomes friends with other tenants of the building: the hippyish bisexual Mona Ramsey; the strange Norman Neal Williams; and Michael Tolliver, a sweet and personable gay man known to his friends as Mouse."
  • "MODERN & CONTEMPORARY FICTION (POST C 1945). The first volume in the acclaimed Tales of the City series. San Francisco, 1976. A naive young secretary, fresh out of Cleveland, tumbles headlong into a brave new world of laundromat Lotharios, pot-growing landladies, cut-throat debutantes, and Jockey Shorts dance contests. The saga that ensues is manic, romantic, tawdry, touching, and outrageous - unmistakably the handiwork of Armistead Maupin."
