About this listen

The original abridged recordings of the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga, in one collection!

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.

Now the original abridged recordings, read by Armistead Maupin himself, are available in one audio collection. The first six stories about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, are both a sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that changed forever the way we live.

As another fan of the series has posted, this is like meeting up with old friends. I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this audio book. I was a teenager when the TV series premiered which got me in to the books and I've been hooked ever since.

I’d loved this series when I read it in several hardbacks over a decade ago. Reading it again aware of the time commitment this was a great way to engage with the characters and feel immersed in their worlds

I read all these books in the 80’s so it was like meeting old friends and what a pleasure it was. I loved Armistead reading them. My only criticism is the intermittent music which seemed to appear for no reason and added nothing to the experience.
