Introduction written and read by Rachel Maddow • Narrated by Frances McDormand

The first novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s bestselling San Francisco saga, and inspiration for the Netflix original series, Tales of the City

“A consummate entertainer who has made a generation laugh. . . . . It is Maupin’s Dickensian gift to be able to render love convincingly.”— Edmund White, Times Literary Supplement

For almost four 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 ten 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.

I read the 'Tales' novels more than 20 years ago and decided to revisit them on audio. The books mainly consist of dialogues - not the best premise for an audiobook as it's difficult to keep track of who's talking. Francis McDormand does an excellent job, tthough (no big surprise, she's a great actress). She makes Mouse, Mona an all the other iconic inhabitants of Barbary Lane come to life, and I loved listening to her.

Tales of the City (and its sequels) might not be great literature, but the stories are a lot of fun and they make you feel nostalgic for (and actually miss) an era and a city even if - like me - you've never been to San Francisco and were still a kid in the 1970s.

A special kind of classic
