Significant Others - Tales of the City

by Armistead Maupin
RM37.00 MYR
Significant Others - Tales of the City
Significant Others - Tales of the City

Social satire meets heart in 1980s San Francisco.

If you've ever felt enchanted by the complexity of human relationships and the bittersweet nostalgia of looking back at life's crossroads, "Significant Others" will speak to you. Armistead Maupin has a talent for crafting dialogue that's both sharp and poignant, making the eccentricities of 1980s San Francisco come alive. It’s as much an adventure through social norms as it is a dive into personal connections that define us.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Significant Others, the fifth self-contained chronicle in the Tales of the City saga, is a cunningly observed class comedy that's sure to be relished by the cognoscenti and by new readers alike. A holiday in the redwoods goes uproariously awry when the opposing sexes camp out rather too close to each other for comfort. Among those entangled in the mayhem are DeDe Halcyon, reformed debutante, troubled house-husband Brian Hawkins, and the irrepressible Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver (arguably Maupin's most beloved creation).
