Armistead Maupin : More Tales of the City before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised More Tales of the City:

An intriguing series of intertwined tales that will make you cry - and laugh your head offBy Driftless NanaI first became aware of Maupin's "Tales of the City" a little while ago while reading a book review in the Wall Street Journal. I added it to a list of books that I'd like to find and read some day. The review must have intrigued me, because when I saw it on the title caught my eye. I read the reviews and decided it would be a good purchase.Clearly it was, since this is the 2nd book in the series. It's very hard to put this book into categories. It's definitely fiction.Maupin's people in this world (San Francisco in, if I remember correctly, the 1970's? Late '70s?) weave throughout their own plotlines and those of the other characters in the book. The core group live in an unusual boarding house, run by an eccentric woman "of a certain age," who takes her boarders into her "family." Naturally, these family members also have family and friends (and other types of associates) from their lives outside of the house. Sometimes some of them move in (with or without an established boarder) or out, depending upon the circumstances of their unique and quite interesting lives.San Francisco has long been known as a haven for eccentrics, artists, people of various sexual identities and old, wealthy society. Maupin's characters travel across these societal, sexual, gender and career lines freely and often. There are frightening villains, but they always receive their comeuppance in appropriate (sometimes humorous, sometimes graphic) ways.I strongly recommend you give this book a try. My description of Maupin's writing style is sadly deficient. Let's just say it's a sort of New Age soap opera, romance, social commentary and comedy wrapped up in several continuing delicious packages.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. San Francisco in the 70's - love it!By DinaReadsALL of Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" books are remarkable. I read them when they first came out, and am now re-reading them, more for nostalgic reasons. Maupin knows how to write characters, and he gives them each their own voice: from the young, green Maryann Singleton from Ohio, to the fabulous over 50 year old Anna Madrigal. The stories bring you to a time before the AIDS epidemic, but also before marriage equality, where many homosexuals were still hiding who they were ~ although not as much in San Francisco! I would recommend these books to anyone who loves a good, quick read, but a book with substance and a good story.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Best Story about San Francisco Life!By Andrea HardI read Tales of the City just a few weeks ago and was hooked!!! I immediately bought More Tales and couldn't put it down. I love Armistead Maupin's writing and these books. I lived in the Bay Area and for a while in San Francisco in the 60's, so I can relate to his books, the City and the people. I still do not know how I could have possibly missed these books when they first came out. The only thing I can think is that I was raising two little sons, working full time, and was leading an extremely busy and full life and perhaps didn't have the time to take on a new author and a new series. I have now bought all of the books except the very last about Anna Madrigal. When I finish the first eight, I will buy that one. Thank you Mr. Maupin.
