Synopsis

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

Review

The "Sex and the City" columnist for the New York Observer documents the social scene of modern-day Manhattan. The reader gets an introduction to "Modelizers," the men who only have eyes for models, as well as a more common species, the "Toxic Bachelor." Reading like a society novel gone downtown and askew, Sex and the City is a comically sordid look at status and ambition and the many characters consumed by the sexual politics of the '90s.
