Significant Others: Tales of the City 5

Armistead Maupin

A holiday in the redwoods goes awry when the opposing sexes camp out rather too close to each other. Among those entangled in the mayhem are DeDe Halcyon, reformed debutante, troubled house-husband Brian Hawkins, and the irrepressible Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver. Part of the "Tales of the City" saga, this is a class comedy.

Summary

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.
