Praise for the hardcover edition: "Remarkable...delectable, addictive..." --New York Times Book Review

First published in 1978, Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has since attracted a devoted worldwide following. Through the lovelorn tenants of a San Francisco apartment house, Maupin takes the reader into a brave new world of Laundromat Lotharios, cutthroat debutantes, and Jockey shorts dance contests. Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, this cunningly observed comedy offers an unprecedented portrait of the agonies and absurdities of urban life in the last quarter of the 20th century.

About the Author: Armistead Maupin's other novels are Maybe the Moon (1992) and The Night Listener (2000).

Tales of the City became a controversial but highly acclaimed miniseries on PBS in 1994, followed by More Tales of the City on Showtime in 1998.

As a librettist he collaborated in 1999 with composer Jake Heggie on Anna Madrigal Remembers for mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade and the classical vocal ensemble, Chanticleer.
