Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City

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

The tenants of 28 Barbary Lane have fled their cozy nest for adventures far afield. Mary Ann Singleton finds love at sea with a forgetful stranger, Mona Ramsey discovers her doppelgänger in a desert whorehouse, and Michael Tolliver bumps into his favorite gynecologist in a Mexican bar. Meanwhile, their venerable landlady takes the biggest journey of all—without ever leaving home.

      Maupin's tales weave vignettes of a utopian San Francisco in the 1970s, recounting the relationships among gay and straight characters who revolve around the eccentric Anna Madrigal and her lodging house at 28 Barbary Lane. Romantic suspense abounds, and true love is always just around the corner. Cynthia Nixon plays delightful games with Maupin's world, sometimes delivering a naòve, arch tone, other times suggesting a delicate naughtiness. With the awed tone of a storyteller, she encourages listeners to believe in these miraculous tales. Her voice ranges from sultry to sly to indignant as she delivers an impressively versatile performance. A small flaw is that her voicing for the character of Bruno is noticeably inconsistent. That aside, she and Maupin take listeners on a delightful trip. C.A. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
