Is There Still Sex in the City? collects sharp, satirical short pieces that examine dating and desire as people move through midlife. Set between Manhattan’s Upper East Side and a quieter village enclave, the essays track how modern dating has shifted for forty- and fifty-somethings.

The book follows contemporary phenomena—older women paired with younger partners, app-driven encounters for a fifty-something divorcée, the pressure to preserve youth, and the evolving habits of urban suitors. Observations blend humor with frank social commentary.

Clear-eyed and conversational, these essays explore marriage, divorce, bereavement and the small domestic rituals that shape modern relationships. The tone is incisive rather than sentimental, offering candid portraits of intimacy and self-reinvention.
