Goodbye Barbary Lane: Tales of the City Books 7-9

"These final days of his San Francisco friends and lovers, gay and straight, are seriously moving. . . . Maupin deftly illustrates how far America and the pioneering Anna have come, and nearly forty years into the series, his writing remains wildly addictive but is deeper and richer."--People

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City novels--the final three of which are collected in this third omnibus volume--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.

Maupin's bestselling epic series spans the decade before the AIDS crisis through the era of marriage equality, and follows an unforgettable cast of characters whose diverse sexual identities helped set the social stage for the ongoing sexual revolution.

Goodbye Barbary Lane--comprised of Michael Tolliver Lives (2007), Mary Ann in Autumn (2010), and The Days of Anna Madrigal (2014)--brings closure to the lives and legacies of the characters through which generations have found connection. Joining two companion omnibus volumes, 28 Barbary Lane and Back to Barbary Lane, this final collection is a must-have for fans of the beloved series.
