Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin

Join us for an evening of warm conversation, thoughtful reflections, and shared stories as we gather to celebrate the enduring magic of Armistead Maupin’s beloved Tales of the City. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time reader, this is your invitation to curl up with tea, connect with fellow queer book lovers, and savor the wit, heart, and soul of one of LGBTQ+ literature’s most cherished sagas.

We’ll guide a relaxed, inclusive chat — no pressure to have read every chapter or remember every character. We’ll revisit favorite moments, discuss themes of chosen family and urban belonging, and maybe even trade our own tales of life in the city. Think of it as a cozy living room with good company, great reads, and no spoilers — unless you want to dish them!

The event takes place at The Shakespeare Hotel, nestled in the vibrant heart of Surry Hills. Grab a seat, bring your own copy (or just your curiosity!), and let’s celebrate the power of story — together.

Feel free to reach out with questions or suggestions — we’d love to hear what you’re reading next.
