Candace Bushnell

Descubre la obra que inspiró la mítica serie de televisión que marcó a toda una generación de mujeres; sus páginas esconden la verdadera historia de Carrie Bradshaw y los entresijos que nunca se mostraron en la pantalla.Una antologia de relatos que Candace Bushnell escribio para The New York Observer en los que refleja en clave femenina el estilo de vida de la jet del Manhattan mas cool. Exitosas carreras profesionales, moda, cocteles, sexo y amor convierten a esta obra en un cuento de hadas moderno y tremendamente descarado, en el que, al contrario que muestra la serie, la mujer no tiene miedo a la solteria y no necesita conseguir un hombre protector.Una lectura que puso a las mujeres al mando y constituyo la verdadera revolucion feminista de la ficcion, cuya protagonista mujer independiente y escritora liberadahablaba, por primera vez en la historia de la literatura y sin pelos en la lengua, de hombres, de placer, de dinero y de lujo en el evocador contexto de la ciudad que nunca duerme.Carrie Bradshaw acabo siendo una mujer extravagante que se caso con un hombre rico. Esa no es mi historia, ni la historia de ninguna de mis amigas. Pero la TV tiene su propia logica.

Il libro e un racconto a puntate sulla societa degli anni Novanta che descrive con spudorata verita la vita sessuale, i vizi, i sentimenti maligni e sotterranei della high society americana e si avvale delle ricerche fatte 'sul campo' dall'autrice in prima persona. Per scrivere i suoi pezzi, la Bushnell ha fatto di tutto: ha condotto indagini sulla vita sessuale delle donne sposate, ha partecipato ai party piu ambiti e si e inserita come una spia negli ambienti presi di mira. Risultato: il libro sulla vita, il sesso e gli amori dei nostri giorni.

Veinte años después de su incisivo primer libro, Sexo en Nueva York, que redefinió el paisaje de la cultura pop y de las relaciones de pareja examinando los rituales de apareamiento de la élite de Manhattan, la pionera Candace Bushnell ofrece un nuevo libro sobre los entresijos del sexo y las citas cuando se han cumplido los cincuenta. Esta nueva novela introduce un nuevo grupo de personajes: Sassy, Kitty, Queenie, Tilda Tia y Marilyn, a las que seguiremos en sus divertidas al tiempo que reveladoras peripecias con el sexo masculino. Asi, sabremos que ocurre cuando una mujer madura se convierte en el objeto de deseo de un hombre mucho mas joven que ella, o en que consiste la "Mona Lisa", un tratamiento de cirugia reparadora vaginal recomendado a menudo a las mujeres de mediana edad."Sus jocosos y sinceros comentarios sobre el mundo de las citas modernas revelan como se ven el amor, el sexo y la amistad desde el prisma de la mujer de mediana edad" (Vogue) "Agridulce, divertido e incisivo, este es un libro sobre si podemos aceptar quienes somos cuando las cosas no resultan como queriamos" (Viv Groskop, The Guardian)"Los fans de "Sexo en Nueva York" disfrutaran de las situaciones de Candace Bushnell, tipicamente candidas, semificticias y llenas de anecdotas" (Rebecca Wallersteiner The Lady)
