Description

San Francisco, 1976. A naive young secretary, fresh out of Cleveland, tumbles headlong into a brave new world of laundromat Lotharios, pot-growing landladies, cut throat debutantes, and Jockey Shorts dance contests. The saga that ensues is manic, romantic, tawdry, touching, and outrageous - unmistakably the handwork of Armistead Maupin.

Reviews

Originally serialised in the San Francisco Chronicle, this book - this series spans some five decades in the lives of a disparate group of residents of 28 Barbary Lane. Fresh and immediate, the books transport the reader to a city socially, politically, and sexually in flux, experiencing with Maupin's dazzling array of characters the highs and lows of their lives in the City. -- Adam (staff)
