One Shoe Diaries- A Story of Love and Shoe Obsession
In the popular TV show, Sex and The City, now serialized on Cable TV networks, the character Carrie Bradshaw represents a typical shoe fanatic – single, female, age 35. But this shoe obsession is not just for single women. It is wide spread and the subject of a recent non-fiction book called, Bootism by Michael Duranko (Andrews McMeel Publishing). This book likens shoe enthusiasts to religious zealots. Shapiro adds, “In the novel, One Shoe Diaries, Brad’s own shoe obsession isn’t so different. Brad’s quest for connection and love in the shoes themselves is something women and men will understand on a shoe to shoe and romantic level. His very rendering the shoes as art in his photographic collection, dubbed Shoe-sophy is something would be artists and art aficionados can appreciate. “
