'Sex' and the City
Just to recommend this elegant hatchet job - the stale Puritanism point is one I have made myself so it must be right. Do not jump to the last line which, I suspect, is where Lane began this review.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
I have rarely watched Sex & the City, but I have read many obituaries with greater pleasure.
ReplyDeleteAt over 1600 words, I don’t know how you got to the last line unless you jumped to it.
Excellent but, time for a (sex) change...
Great review. i really like Lane's writing. Sex and the City always filled me with a numbing horror. i couldn't really morally object to the characters - they weren't evil or anything - it's just they seemed to lack human souls.
ReplyDeleteI like the sight of a well wielded hatchet as much as the next bloke. And barrel fishing is a sound method. But I do not think that this subject matter deserves the Juvenal treatment. It also smacks a bit of the Royal Ballet being reviewed in the Sun.
