<p><b>“A consummate entertainer who has made a generation laugh. . . . It is Maupin’s Dickensian gift to be</b> <b>able to render love convincingly.”— Edmund White, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></b></p><p><b>In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. For more than four decades, Armistead</b> <b>Maupin’s <i>Tales of the City </i>has blazed its own trail through popular culture—from a</b> <b>groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel, to a television series that has captivated</b> <b>millions around the world. One of the earliest popular novels to feature an openly trans woman and</b> <b>to depict life in San Francisco during the AIDS crisis, it has become a quintessential part of LGBTQ+</b> <b>literary history.</b></p><p>San Francisco, 1970s—a city alive with freedom, self-discovery, and the vibrant pulse of queer life. At the heart of it all is 28 Barbary Lane, a shabby-chic apartment run by the enigmatic, warmhearted Anna Madrigal. Here, an unlikely family of eccentrics, dreamers, and outsiders comes together: Mary Ann Singleton, the wide-eyed newcomer from Cleveland; Michael “Mouse” Tolliver, a charming, gay young man navigating love and friendship; Mona Ramsey, sharp-tongued and fiercely independent; and Brian Hawkins, a charismatic, womanizing ex-lawyer.</p><p>Through romance, heartbreak, humor, and the highs and lows of urban life, Maupin captures a San Francisco alive with queer culture and the search for belonging. <i>Tales of the City</i> is a groundbreaking portrait of identity, community, and love in all its forms—funny, tender, and unforgettable.</p><p></p><ul><li><b>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS:</b> Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li><li><b>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS:</b> This series i
