’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

’Irresistible, hilarious and horrific, stylishly written... Candace Bushnell has captured the big, black truth’

BRET EASTON ELLIS

’Jane Austen with a martini, or perhaps Jonathan Swift on rollerblades’

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

’Hilarious... a compulsively readable book, served up in bite sized chunks of irrepressible irreverence’

Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, Sex and the Clty blazes a glorious drunken cocktail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, gossip columnist 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 who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of Breakfast at Tiffany’s into the Glenn Close of Fatal Attraction, and are - still- looking for love.
