Tales of the City is a series of nine novels written by American author Armistead Maupin from 1978 to 2014. The stories from Tales were originally serialized prior to their novelization, with the first four titles appearing as regular installments in the San Francisco Chronicle, while the fifth appeared in the San Francisco Examiner. The remaining titles were never serialized, but were instead originally written as novels. Tales of the City has been compared to similar serial novels that ran in other city newspapers, such as The Serial, Tangled Lives, Bagtime, and Federal Triangle. Characters from the Tales of the City series have appeared in supporting roles in Maupin's later novels Maybe the Moon and The Night Listener.
