| 28 Barbary Lane by Armistead Maupin. List Price:$32.50 |
 |
Amazon Reviewer In the maelstrom of decadence and free-living of the 1960's, the residents of 28 Barbary Lane shelter themselves from the judgement and the suffocating ambitions of their peers and families. Armistead Maupin delights the reader of this San Fransisco chronicle with witty dialogue and sparse but cleverly placed narrative. His characters appear from the your neighbors backyard and make their way into your heart and home. In this collection of the three books in the series you will find, as I did, a treasured mate to take with you wherever you go and a novel you won't be able to put down. Read this book if you've ever wanted to know about sex, love and friendship. Like the quirky men and women of the book you too will find a haven in these tales from the city. You will love this book.

| Further Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin |
 |
Since 1976, Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has etched itself upon the hearts and minds of its readers, both straight and gay. From a groundbreaking newspaper serial in the San Francisco Chronicle to a bestselling novel to a critically acclaimed PBS series, Tales (all six of them) contains the universe--if not in a grain of sand, then in one apartment house. This novel, the second in the Tales of the City series, follows the adventures of a naive young secretary who forsakes Cleveland for San Francisco and discovers a whole new world filled with a bizarre cast of characters.

| More Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin |
 |
The second in the Tales series picks up where the first leaves off, and we welcome back all the residents of 28 Barbary Lane. Again, Maupin's style is the breezy, chatty short-chapter, presumably a result from the stories originally being featured in the SF Chronicle, and again he captures the flavour of 1970's San Francisco perfectly. If you liked the first book, you'll love this. If you didn't, steer clear.

| Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin |
 |
An author with a name like Armistead Maupin & you just know you are going to get something out of the ordinary, and that is exactly what I got. I borrowed the first book from a friend, and subsequently bought all his other books a few days later - I was hooked, and read all six Tof C books in two weeks.(Throwing a sickie to get through BabyCakes!). I visit my pals at barbary Lane when I need a "pick-me-up" and it never fails. Just like old friends. They are a pleasure to read...and when you see someone on the tube reading them, smiling, you want to ask.."where are you in the story?".

| Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin. List Price:£11 |
 |
Michael Tolliver, the sweet-spirited Southerner in Armistead Maupin's classic "Tales of the City" series, is arguably the most beloved gay character in fiction. Now, almost twenty years after ending his groundbreaking saga of San Francisco life, Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero, letting the 55-year-old gardener tell his story in his own voice. Having survived the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers, Michael has learned to embrace the random pleasures of life, the tender alliances that sustain him in the hardest of times, "Michael Tolliver Lives" follows its protagonist as he finds love with a younger man, attends to his dying fundamentalist mother in Florida, and finally reaffirms his allegiance to a wise octogenarian who was once his landlady. While Maupin insists that this book is not, strictly speaking, a continuation of "Tales of the City", a reassuring number of familiar faces appear along the way. As usual, the author's mordant wit and ear for pitch-perfect dialogue serve every aspect of the story - from the bawdy to the bittersweet. "Michael Tolliver Lives" is a novel about the act of growing older joyfully and the everyday miracles that somehow make that possible.

| Night Listener (The) by Armistead Maupin |
 |
Famed for his newspaper-column Tales of the City saga, Armistead Maupin has made the transition to fully fledged novelist with panache. Maintaining the wit and conversational duelling of the Tales--indeed, sharp-eyed fans will find odd intrusions from the past here--Maupin's The Night Listener is a gripping novel, brilliantly plotted and ultimately extremely moving, exploring "the chance to feel love without boundaries".

| Significant Others by Armistead Maupin |
 |
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. Significant Others is the third in the Tales series. 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.
