Wild, witty and inclusive, Tales has been charming readers for more than 40 years it’s also an iconic and important part of queer culture.
It introduced readers to a world where queer and straight folks came together to form their own “logical family” – to borrow a term Maupin himself would later coin – and a joint taped to your apartment door was a show of affection. Tales of the City, his serialised story published daily in the San Francisco Chronicle in the late 70s and 80s, was an affectionate and dazzling reflection of the city’s bohemian streak. Though he was raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, and retains the warm manners of a Southern gent, Armistead Maupin will forever be synonymous with San Francisco.
