Armistead Maupin's uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels--the first three of which are collected in this omnibus volume--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.

"These novels are as difficult to put down as a dish of pistachios. The reader starts playing the old childhood game of 'Just one more chapter and I'll turn out the lights, ' only to look up and discover it's after midnight."--Los Angeles Times Book Review

Originally serialized in the San Francisco Chronicle, Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City (1978), More Tales of the City (1980), and Further Tales of the City (1982) afforded a mainstream audience of millions its first exposure to straight and gay characters experiencing on equal terms the follies of urban life.

Among the cast of this groundbreaking saga are the lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane: the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton, the libidinous Brian Hawkins; Mona Ramsey, still in a sixties trance, Michael Mouse Tolliver, forever in bright-eyed pursuit of Mr. Right; and their marijuana-growing landlady, the indefatigable Mrs. Madrigal.

Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads them through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.

Hard to break
Size: Large Pack
I am a mother of five so buying plastic wear has become my life. I'm insanely picky about them. These pass all my tests. They do NOT break easy. They are light when eating, not much weight to them. Great value for the price. I'm a mother, I have to get my "bang for my buck" and these are what's it for me. I have repeat bought these study little pieces of magic. With an autistic child they make my life easier and the fact they don't snap 🫰 easily is a super win.... Bc it's NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING 😂

Spooniest spoons that ever spooned
Size: Large Pack
I don't know how excited anyone can get about spoons, but hey, they spooned. Decent thickness because they didn't snap when I took a scoop of soup or chili or whatever I had. They look like spoons. They're the size of spoons although I wish all disposable spoons had more surface area in the scoopy part of the spoonage. Really good price for what you're getting and I'm being prompted to comment on ease of use. If you need to know anything about how easy or difficult using a spoon is, you probably shouldn't be using one, supervised or otherwise. Spoon on!

Durable and versatile disposable spoons
Size: Large Pack
These plastic spoons are sturdier than most disposables I've tried, holding up well to both hot soup and frozen desserts without bending. The pack of 100 means I always have plenty on hand for home meals, lunches and picnics, and the clear design looks nicer than flimsy white utensils. I appreciate that they are safe to use and made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic. While the handles are hollow, they've been strong enough for cereal, yogurt and everyday use. They provide great value for the price and save me from washing dishes.
