There are enough characters to satisfy most of the reader's wants, and to alternate his/her attentions AND affections. It's about the bummer of losing hippie-hood & the "anguish in Bohemia." In one word: Awesome! And what else? Authentic pluses include the kitschyness inherent in a Pedro Almodovar comedy, and even some of the picaresque qualities of my all-time fave, "Confederacy of Dunces." It is about this enthusiastic selection of promiscuous pre-80's San Franners.

It is concise, like "Vile Bodies" and perhaps in that same realm of Evelyn Waugh-type social satire. It is uproarious and uber-funny! It stars the cute Mary Ann Singleton (think a more modern Holly Golightly-but less of a prostitute) & a vibrant array of costars.

And what else? Authentic pluses inclu What did I do between finishing this novel and writing its review? I ordered "More Tales of the City" & "Further Tales of the City" on ebay- I'm THAT invested/confident that they'll match this one! What did I do between finishing this novel and writing its review?

And itself an exercise in escapism - using what San Francisco represents in the popular imagination to open wide a world of freedom and possibility within its pages, and without.more A setting - San Francisco - that Maupin gives an almost pop-up book feel. But like, say, Six Feet Under, Tales of the City purports to be little more than a creative and intelligent soap opera.

In what is the first and best book in a six-part series constructed from a serial column in the San Francisco Chronicle, Tales of the City is smart, guilty entertainment at its best. A setting - San Francisco - that Maupin gives Tales of the City is not great literature. Tales of the City is not great literature.
