Enter a world where the sometimes shocking and often hilarious mating habits 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.

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.
