The Margos are celebrating Pride Month with one of the most beloved books and adaptations of the last 50 years. Armistead Maupin's captivating series, Tales of the City, is set in vibrant San Francisco. Initially a newspaper serial in the Pacific Sun and the San Francisco Chronicle, this collection of novels was adapted into a beloved 1993 miniseries focusing on events from the first book. Celebrated for its authentic representation of LGBTQ+ lives and community, the series broke ground in television for its inclusive storytelling. Which did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out.
In this ep, the Margos discuss:
- The background of the stories and setting
- The effect the 1993 series had on the gay rights movement.
- The differences between the first novel and the film.
