Publisher's Summary

Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City

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

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 55-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.

What the critics say

"Maupin denies that this is a seventh volume of his beloved Tales of the City, but - happily - that's exactly what it is, with style and invention galore." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Sweet without being sappy." ( Booklist)

Carrying the torch

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

Armistead is awesome.

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.
