Detalhes da ObraMore Tales of the City de Armistead Maupin (1980)
   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I love this one. Its a reread for I think the 4th or 5th time (I've lost count over the years) and one of my favourites. I am finding most other books that I am reading at the moment to be a bit heavy going so this is light relief in the extreme. (  ) CharlotteBurt | Feb 1, 2021 |  I just can't get enough of these characters and their lives. Thank goodness there are a few more books. (  ) sunnydrk | Jul 27, 2020 | the singles saga continues ritaer | Apr 15, 2020 | More Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin This book continues the characters that are introduced in Tales of the City, which is the first of this particular series. One of the things that makes this particular book interesting is that each chapter is relatively short, so it is quickly read and makes it easy for a reader to find a stopping point when they need to put it down for awhile. The reason for this ease isn't because Maupin wrote them this way as a book, but because the chapters are originally articles that appeared in, I believe don't quote me on this, the San Francisco Chronicle. Each chapter was featured as the daily story and because of this the book seems highly dramatic at time because it would be fairly obvious that each article had to keep the reader invested to return to it the next day to read. The thing is though there are overarching themes that actually get solved as well, which makes it very interesting to read in its entirety. As a reader you want to know what the secrets are because Maupin makes you invested in each o the characters. Each character has their own individual life, but as a collective group they make a beautiful book. I really enjoyed this book and plan on reading the next in the series entitled Further Tales of the City. If you want a book that will surely turn out to be a guilty pleasure for you to read then look no further than this and the first book in the series. You will love them and thank yourself for reading them!! (  ) SoulFlower1981 | Jan 20, 2016 | Good follow up to Tales of the City with same cast of characters. ( ) bogopea | May 26, 2015 |
Au fil des années 80 et de six volumes, les Chroniques ont connu, Aux Etats-unis, un succès croissant, critique autant que public : bien au-delà de San Francisco et d'un lectorat gay, Maupin a peu à peu conquis une audience internationale qui, pas plus que ses personnages, ne se renferme dans un quelconque ghetto. La qualité littéraire y est pour beaucoup : les saynètes qui constituent la trame du récit sont certes tissées de dialogues, mais la justesse parfaite du ton ne doit pas occulter l'écriture. Les Chroniques nous parlent en effet du présent sur un mode désuet (...). Les tableaux nous promènent dans toute la société, du monde au demi-monde, du vernissage au rodéo gay, de la débutante à la punkette, du prêtre au policier - jusqu'à la reine d'Angleterre. Maupin nous présente des hommes, des femmes, des jeunes, des vieux, des ambitieux, des tendres...Les maîtres mots de sa saga culte sont "solidarité et "amitié". Tout le monde s'y retrouve.
