Work detailsTales of the City by Armistead Maupin (1978)
Good for a quick, light read. (  ) KatrinkaV | May 14, 2013 |  This is a reread. I felt like comfort reading and since they published a new compilation in French of the whole series and I wanted to refresh my memory before reccing it to the patrons again although you can't really miss with this series. I still love it. The whole 70s and post hippie, post war, Reagan years. It's still very interesting to read. (  ) writerlibrarian | Apr 6, 2013 | Revisited via audio CD. It was lovely to be back on Barbary Lane with the kids, but odd that they are kids now and not too long ago they were glamourous grownups. Sweet and improbable and dated in the nicest sort of way. There's one prescient moment where Brian says to Michael that it's likely that someday they will be sad old libertines lost in a world of uptight kids, because the pendulum always swings. ( ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | easy, fun. not much character development or depth, but there are more books to follow so maybe that comes later. (  ) elisa.saphier | Apr 2, 2013 | Yay for serial novels! The characters are really funny and warmly portrayed; the story feels largely effortless. Maupin could have spent a lot of time waxing poetical about San Francisco, but instead he lets the city shine through the characters. The jokes made cheerfully at the expense of seventies' culture are still funny because, man, the seventies were pretty strange. Hoping that the rest of the series is this good!
