Description
Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick
The first novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.
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.

a collection of abridged books
While it's highly welcome to have TOTC on Audible, this omnibus is a collection of the abridged versions of all the books. Minor but important plot points that add depth and understanding to the characters are missing.

too continuous
Good listen but there are no indications to where one book ends and another starts. I understand that they are continuous but it would still be good to know if this is Tales of the City or More Tales of the City...

The charm was edited out
What was most disappointing about Armistead Maupin’s story?
As I see it, the beauty of the books is in the city and its characters. In order to get the books short enough, so much of that was cut, leaving the books gray and boring in comparison. In my opinion, it's better to avoid the series altogether that listen to it like this.

Captures an Era
Love the portrayal of the times, the great characters, and the serendipity. Maupin has an eye for contemporary society and its quirks.

I guess that time is gone, now
I lived in San Francisco at the end of the time when this novel was serialized in The Chronicle newspaper. I remember reading it with some puzzlement at first, and later with a sense of enjoyment. I had an apartment that looked into Trader Vic's parking lot, and I would spend Friday evenings sitting on the fire escape watching the comings and goings: Tales of the City reminds me of those moments. However, absent that social scene, that society, that oddly innocent moment, I'm not sure the stories really stand up well today. At times it seems almost elegiac, which was not the original intent. Something unfortunate seems to have happened to the dreams, the beliefs, the energy we had back then, which is not the novel's fault, yet it somehow affects how one thinks of it today. The narration is all right, not affected by overdone "voices", but it isn't wonderful either.

The perfect trashy read
I think this book is a wonderful trashy distracting read for anyone who think they could enjoy a fabulously dated but yet still timeless soap opera of wayward queers and their friends in SF. This book got me through a couple thousand miles of really boring driving. Get it... their good washing the dishes or driving real far or taking a nice long bath alone stories.

A collection of forever favorites
Such an amazing collection of stories of the characters and scenes that will make anyone from the Bay area yearn for a visit back - one of the only books I've read to tackle the Aids epidemic with taste and humor too

Moderately Entertaining Soap
If you want to get lost in something that requires no thought, just some fluffy entertainment, then this might be for you. The narration is kind of clumsy, which is surprising since it is the author reading his own work!

loses by abrigement
I read the Tales years ago and enjoyed them immensely. This abriged recorded version - while still good AND read by the author - is not as enjoyable as the books because it is exactly the small indiosyncratic episodes (that here sometimes got cut out)!! which made this a great read.
For someone unfamiliar with the Tales, it might be difficult, at times, to follow the storyline.
In essence, this recorded books is for people who want to know whether they would like the book, or those like me who've read the books and just want to revisited with the folks at 28 Barbary Lane.
