Significant Others: The fifth novel in the classic, must-read Tales of the City series: 5 (Tales of the City, 5) - Softcover
Synopsis
The fifth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.
‘Some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read’ Guardian
____________________
Tranquillity reigns in the ancient redwood forest until a women-only music festival sets up camp downriver from an all-male retreat for the ruling class. Among those entangled in the ensuing mayhem are a lovesick nurseryman, a panic-stricken philanderer, and the world’s most beautiful fat woman. Significant Others is Armistead Maupin’s cunningly observed meditation on marriage, friendship and sexual nostalgia.
Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in 1980s San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.
