Book Synopsis
An astonishingly funny and poignant new collection of short stories from Jay McInerney - one of the pre-eminent writers of his generation.

Trade Review
‘Stories of sex and money set in and around New York City, where gentle satire and situation comedy give way to dark epiphanies about doomed marriages or social failures' * Guardian *
‘Leading us behind the bedroom doors of New York's pretty and privileged people, McInerney's twelve tales work on our appetite for gossip like literary episodes of Sex and the City ... Each tale here has a clever little kick. And each comes with a twist' * Independent on Sunday *
‘In essentials, the ambience of his fiction is the same as Scott Fitgerald's Jazz Age one. So is the attitude - fascination laced with irony - that he brings to it...Everywhere, his fiction displays a Fitzgerald-like enthrallment with glamour and its tarnishing, ideals and their dissipation, charm and the way it can coarsen and sour' * Sunday Times *
‘Elegant, sly and blackly humorous' * Daily Mail *
