Tales of the City

An Olive Edition Title

The novel that spawned the entire Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s hugely successful San Francisco saga—now available in a limited Olive Edition

“An extended love letter to a magical San Francisco.”—New York Times Book Review

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 nine 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.
