Product Description

Product Description
The divinely human comedy that began with "Tales of the City" rolls recklessly along as Michael Tolliver pursues his favourite gynaecologist, Mona Ramsey uncovers her roots in a desert whorehouse, and Mary Ann Singleton finds love at sea with the amnesiac of her dreams.

From the Back Cover
‘May well be the funniest series of novels currently in progress’
The Times

The divinely human comedy that began with Tales of the City rolls recklessly along as Michael Tolliver pursues his favourite gynaecologist, Mona Ramsey uncovers her roots in a desert whorehouse, and Mary Ann Singleton finds love at sea with the amnesiac of her dreams.

‘(Maupin) is the perfect chronicler of the moral, political, sexual and social fluxes of the world as we have lived and known them…Not only is all human life here but a hell of a lot besides that you’d never imagine’
City Limits

‘I have read Maupin’s first two books three times already and shall probably read them again before too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential if you've read Tales of the City., 8 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The second in the Tales series picks up where the first leaves off, and we welcome back all the residents of 28 Barbary Lane. Again, Maupin's style is the breezy, chatty short-chapter, presumably a result from the stories originally being featured in the SF Chronicle, and again he captures the flavour of 1970's San Francisco perfectly. If you liked the first book, you'll love this. If you didn't, steer clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every bit as good as the Tales of the City, 28 Jun 2007
By Benjamin (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
More Tales of the City maintains the standard set in the first book as the coincidences become more bizarre and the characters reveal more of their secrets. Of the latter Anna Madrigal has some real shockers; but there is a shock of a different kind in store for the adorable Michael Tolliver; and yet another for the insufferable Beauchamp. But before that Mary Anne and the Michael go on a cruise together and neither returns empty handed. We meet some new characters and some of the old ones play a bigger part.
Very funny and entertaining, with some amateur sleuthing which involves several of the residents of 28 Barbary Lane keeping us guessing to the end, this is a most enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A funny follow-up, 10 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: More Tales of the City (Paperback)
Great stuff - I was dying to read this after the wonderful roller-coaster of the first volume and wasn't disappointed. The coincidences abounded, some a bit far fetched but which I can go with, and believe them - characterisation was spot on (apart from Burke - too silly and bizarre and the storyline plain daft - but he was portrayed as barking, which he is!) Nice chapter lengths and interesting chapter headings - reminds me of my E M Forster 'A' level studies. I love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping
Loved it, could not put it down. Brilliant writing, even better than the first "Tales of the City" which I also really enjoyed.
Published 3 months ago by J. E. R. Fox

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical follow-up to "Tales of the City"
Once again Maupin gives us a glimpse into the lives of the residents of 28 Barbary Lane.

Brilliantly written and extremely funny.
