Armistead Maupin
All six Tales of the City novels available in one audio edition with a special introduction by the author.
Armistead Maupin's uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels have earned a unique niche in American literature, not only as matchless entertainment but as indelible documents of cultural change in the '70s and '80s.
Among the cast of this groundbreaking saga are the lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane: the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton; the libidinous Brian Hawkins; Mona Ramsey, still in a'60s trance; Michael "Mouse" Tolliver, forever in bright-eyed pursuit of Mr. Right; and their marijuana-growing landlady, the indefatigable Mrs. Madrigal.
Includes:
- Tales of the City
- More Tales of the City
- Further Tales of the City
- Babycakes
- Significant Others
- Sure of You

A lovely look back

I'd previously only read some of the columns published in the Chronicle, and then watched the miniseries created from it (long live Olympia Dukakis as Mrs. Madrigal.
I was enjoying everything just fine till I noticed that each book was read in just a few hours, which seemed short for the size of the printed versions. Checking books out of the library, I then found that in fact, the version(s) here is abridged - with no indication about that in the posted information. While what's left is certainly enough to provide the gist of the stories, the parts cut out did add much flavor and texture to the books.
Also, while there are six books contained in this package, and the actual books have individual names with individual chapter titles, none of that information is conveyed in the Chapters listing. Everything just gets a sequential chapter number so that one doesn't really know what book and chapter is being read.
Possibly minor complaints for such a monumentally narrated work, but they do impact the understanding and enjoyment.
