By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, the final three novels of Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City series are collected in this omnibus edition, showcasing a remarkable blend of storytelling and social commentary on American culture from the seventies through the early 2000s. These concluding tales of San Francisco's diverse characters, both gay and straight, are deeply moving. Maupin illustrates the progress of America and his pioneering characters, with writing that remains addictive yet increasingly profound. Spanning from 1978 to 2014, the series captures the decade before the AIDS crisis through the era of marriage equality, featuring unforgettable characters whose varied sexual identities have shaped the ongoing sexual revolution. Goodbye Barbary Lane includes Michael Tolliver Lives, Mary Ann in Autumn, and The Days of Anna Madrigal, offering closure to beloved characters and their legacies. This omnibus joins two previous volumes, 28 Barbary Lane and Back to Barbary Lane, highlighting Maupin's skillful dialogue, his ability to create relatable yet unique characters, and his talent for intricate, if sometimes fantastical, plotting.
