	Tales Of The City
		Tales of the City first began as a short-lived series in a San Francisco weekly newspaper in 1974, the fictionalized account of a real-life phenomenon occurring at a local Safeway supermarket where, on Wednesday nights, hordes of swinging singles would gather in search of romance.
		When Tales of the City ran originally in the US, there was a lot of criticism from several conservative congressmen about the depictions of casual drug use, language, nudity, the sympathetic portrayals of the homosexual main characters, and especially the scenes of Mouse and Jon kissing.
		Tales of the City captures the spirit of the 70s - disco, casual sex, drugs, Mary Hartman, homosexuality, bath houses, roller rinks, the Average White Band, waterbeds.

	Interview: Armistead Maupin \| By genre \| guardian.co.uk Books
		Tales of the City, the enormously popular series that Armistead Maupin began in 1974, is set at number 28 on a quiet, tree-dappled lane in San Francisco; Maupin himself lives at number 27 on a quiet, tree-dappled lane in San Francisco.
		The Night Listener, one of two books that are not part of the Tales series (and which has been made into a film starring Robin Williams), seems to be the most closely autobiographical of all his novels.
		Even in the relatively liberated atmosphere of mid-1970s San Francisco, Maupin's tales of the lives of gay men in the city were a shock.

	Tales of the City - Cambridge University Press
		Tales of the City brings together the academics’ abstract tales with the vivid stories about a particular city, Milton Keynes, and the often moving self-narrations of its residents.
		The story that is now emerging, told by many individual actor narrators, is of the city as a natural setting for human life, in stark contrast to the pessimistic anti-urban tales of many academic narrators.
		Drawing on narrative studies, cultural and linguistic anthropology and social theory, Professor Finnegan skilfully examines the narrative conventions and cultural implications of our multiple tales of the city, and relates them to profound mythic themes about urban life, community, and to the creative role of the active, reflecting individual.

	Further Tales of the City
		Tales of the City in 1976 as a serial in the daily San Francisco Chronicle.
		At the time it was fresh and engaging, and it caught a certain tone of the life and thought then characterizing San Francisco--a city that, at least on the surface, opened its minds to the gays who were migrating there en masse.
		Tacked on top of that background is a heavily contrived, improbable, and not very amusing plotline involving DeDe Halcyon, lesbian daughter of a socialite, who, with her partner and two kids managed to escape from Jonestown just in time to avoid the massacre.
