About this ebook

HBO’s hit series Sex and the City has a huge international fanbase and has picked up major awards, yet until now it has received little critical attention. This highly readable critical celebration of the life and times of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha looks at the series as a new departure for TV comedy drama, discussing its position in an increasingly complex television landscape, and pioneers innovative approaches to the study of contemporary television culture. The book explores, among many other issues, female fandom and fan culture; fashion and fashion journalism; male archetypes and the search for Mr Right; third wave feminism; sex and the single girl and indeed sex and the citizen. The book includes a full episode guide and a map of Sex and the City’s New York. I.B.TAURIS BESTSELLER 2004 The editors have managed to mirror the show’s fine balancing act between breezy and serious. Sex and the City – and this book – illustrate not only that feminism is alive and well, but that good writing by and about women is too. – The Irish Times
