Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, Sex and the City blazes a glorious drunken cocktail-trail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, gossip columnist par excellence, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels from the Baby Doll Lounger 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, whilst 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.
