Description
Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels are a unique blend of great storytelling and incisive social commentary on American culture. This second omnibus volume collects the fourth, fifth and sixth novels, offering instant gratification and a chance to appreciate the masterful construction of the series. The novels, which originally appeared as serials in San Francisco newspapers, have won critical acclaim and enthralled devoted fans around the world. This volume, Back to Barbary Lane, continues the saga of the tenants of Mrs. Madrigal's apartment house on Russian Hill, tracking the hapless cast across the eighties - a decade marked by plague, deceit, and overweening ambition. By reading these novels in sequence, you can appreciate the development of the characters and the world they inhabit. With their blend of humour and pathos, they offer a fascinating insight into American culture from the seventies through the first two decades of the new millennium.
