Sex and the City

About this book

From a bestselling novelist, this "cultural phenomenon" is a fascinating foray into the hearts, minds, and mating habits of modern-day New Yorkers and the inspiration behind the television series (Oprah). Enter a world where the shocking and hilarious dating rituals of the privileged are exposed by a true insider. In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs-and forever changes the conversation about women, friendships, love, and sex. Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, Sex and the City blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through Manhattan. "Fascinating... hilarious... welcome to the cruel planet that is Manhattan." - Los Angeles Times "Compulsively readable." - Marie Claire "Jane Austen with a martini."- Sunday Telegraph
