Candace Bushnell, in the divinely bitchy Sex and the City, answers this question by introducing a formidable corps of successful grown-ups who are each "up to their cuffs in polished cynicism". Fully equipped with high credit limits, high heels and a never-ending supply of condoms, they storm their way through the stars and bars of New York doing drugs, drink and sex and treading the dangerous waters between the easy-living twentysomething years and the last-chance thirtysomethings.
As successful and smart single women work their way through Married Men and Modelisers (men who will only date models), Serial Daters and Perennial Bachelors, watching forlornly as the occasional Happily Married pops in to remind themselves how lucky they are, Bushnell irreverently dives in and out of varying habitats, eavesdropping on shabby lives decorated with Gold Cards and Designer Labels and taking the reader on an anthropological tour of the underbelly of the rich and the richer on their endless search for fulfilment.
Painfully sharp, often poignant and chock full with more truth than anyone would really like to admit, Sex and the City is a harem-scarem, casually vicious but ultimately thorough dissing of a thirtysomething world where gloss and glamour can never compensate for The Real Thing, and where eventually Settling is the only answer. --Susan Harrison

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Elles sont journalistes, marchandes d'art, avocates, responsables des relations publiques. Elles ont tout pour plaire : jeunes, jolies, brillantes, sexy, indépendantes. Tout, sauf ce qu'elles cherchent désespérément : le partenaire idéal. Dans la jungle new-yorkaise, les places au soleil sont chères, Sex and the City en témoigne. Devenue un livre-culte avant d'inspirer une série télévisée, cette chronique à la fois hilarante et terrifiante des moeurs amoureuses et sexuelles de l'élite de Manhattan met l'Amérique WASP en émoi. Il est vrai que Candace Bushnell, journaliste branchée du New York Observer, n'hésite pas à bousculer le sexuellement correct de rigueur, en narrant en toute impudeur les aventures de ses contemporaines, leurs états d'âme et leurs frasques sexuelles. Ou du moins, ce qu'il en reste. Bienvenue dans l'ère de l'innocence perdue : un regard lucide et impitoyable sur une société qui fout décidément le camp. - Nombre de page(s) : 283 p. - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne.
