Articoli correlati a Significant Others: Tales of the City 5
Significant Others, the fifth self-contained chronicle in the Tales of the City saga, is a cunningly observed class comedy that's sure to be relished by the cognoscenti and by new readers alike.
A holiday in the redwoods goes uproariously awry when the opposing sexes camp out rather too close to each other for comfort. Among those entangled in the mayhem are DeDe Halcyon, reformed debutante, troubled house-husband Brian Hawkins, and the irrepressible Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver (arguably Maupin's most beloved creation).

Recensione:
"Maupin is a richly gifted comic author... there is room in Armistead Maupin's universe for all of us" (Observer)
"Comedy in its most classical form... some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read" (Jonathan Coe Guardian)
"San Francisco is fortunate in having a chronicler as witty and likeable as Armistead Maupin" (Independent)
"Like those of Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Armistead Maupin's novels have all appeared originally as serials... it is the strength of this approach, with its fantastic adventures and astonishingly contrived coincidences, that makes these novels charming and compelling" (Literary Review)
"Wise, witty, loving and caring about the foibles and frailties we all seem to have" (David Hockney)

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The fifth volume in the acclaimed Tales of the City series.The fifth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's best-selling San Francisco saga.'Some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read' Guardian____________________Tranquillity reigns in the ancient redwood forest until a women-only music festival sets up camp downriver from an all-male retreat for the ruling class. Among those entangled in the ensuing mayhem are a lovesick nurseryman, a panic-stricken philanderer, and the world's most beautiful fat woman. Significant Others is Armistead Maupin's cunningly observed meditation on marriage, friendship and sexual nostalgia.Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads the eccentric tenants of Barbary Lane through heartbreak and triumph, through nail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences in 1980s San Francisco. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers. A holiday in the redwoods goes awry when the opposing sexes camp out rather too close to each other. Among those entangled in the mayhem are DeDe Halcyon, reformed debutante, troubled house-husband Brian Hawkins, and the irrepressible Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver. Part of the "Tales of the City" saga, this is a class comedy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780552998802
