Significant Others

By Armistead Maupin
Significant Others by Armistead Maupin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Inspiration for the Netflix Limited Series, Tales of the City

The fifth novel in the beloved Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s best-selling San Francisco saga.

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.

Significant Others Reviews

4.0
“A rich, slice of life tapestry with witty commentary on the gender binary, a post war America, AIDS, and the nuances of queer love. Took me a good chunk of the book to grasp who was who and how they were connected since I have not read Maupin's other books, but I was delighted at all the various crossovers of relationships”
