Since its publication as a daily newspaper serial in 1976, Maupin's incisive comedy of manners has expanded into six bestselling novels, the first of which became a highly acclaimed television miniseries starring Oscar-winner Olympia Dukakis as the irrepressible Anna Madrigal, doyenne of 28 Barbary Lane.Now More Tales of the City is becoming a Showtime miniseries, once again starring Olympia Dukakis, Laura Linney, and Thomas Gibson, as well as exciting new cast-members, including Swoosie Kurtz and Ed Asner. It will be broadcast in June 1998.HarperFlamingo is delighted to announce the publication of two new editions of More Tales of the City to tie in with this broadcast. The first, packaged in the series format, will allow readers to collect the entire Maupin library in a uniform look. The second features a special cover to tie in with the Showtime series and an eight-page photo insert that will delight Maupin's longtime devotees and introduce a whole new audience to this American classic."Remarkable, delectible, addictive". -- New York Times Book Review"There's been nothing like it since the heyday of the serial novel 100 years ago". -- Walter Kendrick, Voice Leterary Supplement
