Suspenseful, comic, and profoundly moving, the latest novel in Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series follows one of modern literature's most beloved and indelible characters—Anna Madrigal, the transgender landlady of 28 Barbary Lane—as she embarks on a road trip that will take her deep into her complicated past.Now ninety-two, and committed to the notion of "leaving like a lady," Mrs. Madrigal has seemingly found peace with her "logical family" in San Francisco： her devoted young caretaker, Jake Greenleaf; her former tenant Brian Hawkins and his daughter, Shawna; and Michael Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton, who have known and loved Anna for nearly four decades.Some members of Anna's family are bound for the otherworldly landscape of Burning Man, the art community in Nevada's Black Rock Desert where sixty thousand revelers gather to construct a city designed to last only one week. Anna herself has another Nevada destination in mind： a lonely stretch of road outside of Winnemucca where the sixteen-year-old boy she once was ran away from the whorehouse he called home. With Brian and his beat-up RV, she journeys into the dusty, troubled heart of her Depression-era childhood to unearth a lifetime of secrets and dreams, and to attend to unfinished business she has long avoided.The ninth and final novel in Armistead Maupin's classic Tales of the City series, The Days of Anna Madrigal is the triumphant resolution to a saga of urban family life that has enchanted and enlightened readers around the world since 1976. Armistead Maupin is the author of the “Tales of the City” series, of which THE DAYS OF ANNA MADRIGAL is the ninth book and which includes TALES OF THE CITY, MORE TALES OF THE CITY, FURTHER TALES OF THE CITY, BABYCAKES, SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, SURE OF YOU, MICHAEL TOLLIVER LIVES, and MARY ANN IN AUTUMN. Three television miniseries starring Olympia Dukakis and Laura Linney were made from the first three “Tales” novels. Maupin is also the author of MAYBE THE MOON and THE NIGHT LISTENER, the latter of which became a feature film starring Robin Williams and Toni Collette. A stage musical version of TALES OF THE CITY premiered at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater in May, 2011. Maupin lives in Santa Fe with his husband, Christopher Tu
