About this listen

Narrated by Cynthia Nixon

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.

Story is okay but not as rich and engrossing as the others. Cynthia Nixon does a fantastic job at narrating.

Flagging a bit

I effortlessly breezed thru this audio book in just a few days. Wonderful, tantalising characters, expertly brought to life by Cynthia Nixon and written so tangibly by Armistead Maupin. I was hooked by the storylines and couldn't wait to get thru each chapter.

A joy to listen to

There are SO many characters in this book, it was hard to keep up. I had to write them down, there were so many. Multiple plots. I couldn't invest in any of the characters as they just didn't seem appealing to me. It certainly seems a stand out book for the time it was published (a good few decades ago) regarding LGBTQ relationships. Narration was very good.

So many characters...
