About this listen

The seventh novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.

Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City

Nearly two decades after ending his groundbreaking Tales of the City saga of San Francisco life, Armistead Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero Michael Tolliver—the fifty-five-year-old sweet-spirited gardener and survivor of the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers—for a single day at once mundane and extraordinary... and filled with the everyday miracles of living.

It's amazing how effortless it is to slip back into these characters after such a long break. Love hearing the author read his own work; there's something familiar and safe in his voice for me. The re-recordings of the older books and the various readers of the new books are ok, but don't have the same impact. #Audible1

A masterful storyteller with a terribly human story to tell. This is a highly recommended listening opportunity. I was first introduced to this storyline back in 1994 when I stumbled upon the PBS presentation of 'Tales of the City.' I fell in love with the story, the characters and with San Francisco. Listening to Mr. Maupin reading his own deliciously captivating words was truly a delight. I could not wait for opportunities to listen and found myself laughing and crying just as though I were watching the televised production all those years ago.

Armistead is awesome.
