The 4th volume of the Tales From the City series turns dark when we learn of the death of Michael's lover, Jon, from AIDS. Michael is persuaded to revisit England, where he discovers the missing daughter of Mrs. Madrigal, Mona. Brian is pressuring Mary Ann to have a baby. In the 5th book we rejoin DeDe and D'orthea as they head for Wimminwood festival on the same weekend that the twin's step grandfather attends the Bohemian Grove upstream. In the 6th, Michael is partner in a nursery and Mary Ann is offered a dream job in New York. Although light reading the novels are time capsules of the conflicts of the time: motherhood vs. career, the national effort to ignore the AIDS crisis and the resulting militancy of the homosexual community. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City novelsâ??the fourth, fifth and sixth of which are collected in this second omnibus volumeâ??stand as an incomparable blend of great storytelling and incisive social commentary on American culture from the seventies through the first two decades of the new millennium. "Tearing through [the tales] one after the other, as I did, allows instant gratification; it also lets you appreciate how masterfully they're constructed. No matter what Maupin writes next, he can look back on the rare achievement of having built a little world and made it run."â?? Walter Kendrick, Village Voice Literary Supplement Armistead Maupin's uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels have earned a unique niche in American literature and are considered indelible documents of cultural change from the seventies through the first two decades of the new millennium. The nine classic comedies, some of which originally appeared as serials in San Francisco newspapers, won Maupin critical acclaim around the world and enthralled legions of devoted fans. Back to Barbary Lane comprises the second omnibus of the seriesâ??Babycakes (1984), Significant Others (1987), and Sure of You (1989)â??continuing the saga of the tenants, past and present, of Mrs. Madrigal's beloved apartment house on Russian Hill. While the first trilogy celebrated the carefree excesses of the seventies, this volume tracks its hapless, all-too-human cast across the eightiesâ??a decade troubled by plague, deceit, and overweening ambition. Like its companion volumes, 28 Barbary Lane and Goodbye, Barbary Lane, Back to Barbary Lane is distinguished by what The Guardian of London has called "some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever lik Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
