  Equal parts soap opera, gossip page, sociological study and dating manual, Sex and the City , Candace Bushnell's regular New York Obsever column has attracted a cult following in the US. This collection blazes a trail through a semi-fictional Manhattan, based on lightly-disguised celebrities and media types. Bushnell assembles a cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hard core of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy, single women, too close to 40 who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of Breakfast at Tiffany's into the Glenn Close of Fatal Attraction and who are still looking for love.

  Bushnell's beat is that demi-monde of nightclubs, bars, restaurants and parties where the rich come into contact with the infamous, the famous with the wannabes and the publicity-hungry with the gossip-peddlers' EVENING STANDARD Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, SEX AND THE CITY blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, columnist and social critic par excellence, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels from the Baby Doll Lounge to the Bowery Bar. An Armistead Maupin for the real world, she has the gift of assembling a huge and irresistible cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hard core of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy single women, too close to forty, who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S into the Glen Close of FATAL ATTRACTION, and are - still - looking for love.
