Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell based on her and her friends' lifestyles.[citation needed] It was first published in 1997, and re-published in 2001, 2006, and in 2008 as 10th anniversary movie tie-in edition.
The book is an anthology of columns that Bushnell began writing in 1994 for The New York Observer. The book was loosely adapted into a long-running HBO television series also called Sex and the City (1998-2004), which itself spawned a 2008 film of the same name.
[edit] Differences from the series
Though the novel, like the series, is told from the point of view of columnist Carrie Bradshaw, her adventures include more and varied friends than the three primaries featured in the series. Some situations and personalities were adapted for the show, but the characters who bear the names Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbs and Samantha Jones are minor and contrast their television counterparts.
Charlotte is a sex-crazed British girl in the book; in the series she is a naïve, sometimes prudish American WASP. Miranda is a cable executive in the book, but a lawyer in the series.
