The fifth volume in the acclaimed Tales of the City series.
Armistead Maupin was born in Washington, D.C. in 1944 but was
brought up in Raleigh, North Carolina. A graduate of the University
of North Carolina, he served as a naval officer in Vietnam before
moving to California in 1971 as a reporter for the Associated
Press. In 1976 he launched his daily newspaper serial, Tales of the
City, in the San Francisco Chronicle. The first fiction to appear
in an American daily for decades, Tales grew into an international
sensation when compiled and rewritten as novels. Maupin's
six-volume Tales of the City sequence - Tales of the City, More
Tales of the City, Further Tales of the City, Babycakes,
Significant Others and Sure of You - are now multi-million
bestsellers published around the world. He is also the author of
two other bestselling novels, Maybe the Moon and The Night
Listener, which was recently made into a film starring Robin
Williams and Toni Collette. He lives in San Francisco,
California.
