Bushnell tells her life story with sharp humor and pace. From a childhood where her father wryly remarked that "no man would ever love her" to the day she took the bus to Manhattan in a Loehmann's outfit to pursue her writing dream. Her first publication was about Studio 54 etiquette ("If someone dies, just ignore it"), after which she quickly made a name for herself as a journalist. She met her own "Mr. Big," but she left that behind when her groundbreaking book 'Sex and the City' was published in 1996.

With 'Sex and the City', Bushnell changed the perception of women and sex forever, both for readers and later for millions of television viewers. Don't miss your chance to see the one and only Candace Bushnell at work. See you on Tuesday 21 April 2026, at Stadsschouwburg in Antwerp!
