- Description
- Jay McInerney burst upon the 1980s literary scene with the brash, highly-original novel "Bright Lights, Big City." Since then he's proven an adept chronicler of the nuances and inherent contradictions of modern American life, particularly among privileged, young, dissolute New Yorkers. Employing a sardonic, wry style, McInerney imbues his wealthy, spoiled characters with an unexpected myopia; their inability to truly see themselves is morbidly fascinating. He frequently places them in situations involving explicit sexuality and illicit drug use, often to hilarious effect. We take voyeuristic pleasure in their ostensibly perfect lives, even as we wish they were our own. Start with: Bright Lights, Big City
