About this listen

For more than three 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 six novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales of the City is both a sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that changed forever the way we live.

I was so happy to see this series on audible. I plan to listen to the whole series now. I watched the new 2019 Tales of the City on Netflix and didn't know it was from the original series which is of course from the books first. It's all making sense now and I can't wait to read or listen to the rest of the books in the series. The narration by Frances was such a treat.

Addictive.
