ABLAZE PRIDE '24 COLLECTED SET

In honor of Pride Month, Ablaze present three titles spotlighting LGBTQ+ themes, characters, and creators.

In Tales of the City: Anna Madrigal runs a boarding house at 28 Barbary Lane, San Fransico. She welcomes people who have nowhere else to go: the misfits. This matriarch is known for her unending kindness and her superb marijuana crop. The novel starts with the arrival of Mary Ann Singleton, a prudish, naive, young woman who escaped her dull Ohio hometown. She settles in with her other fellow tenants: Michael "Mouse," a personable young gay man, Brian Hawkins, an incorrigible Don Juan, and Mona Ramsey, a young hippyish bisexual.
