Reviews

Bright Lights, Big City is a brilliant and moving work--unique, refreshing, imaginatively powerful and authentically conceived.
--The New York Times Bright Lights, Big City defined, and even determined, the mood of this whole town.
--Vanity Fair Short, sleek and very funny.... Beneath it's surface, though, a heart's cry for a saner, sweeter, more thoughtful and restrained existence.
--Chicago Tribune Each generation needs its Manhattan novel, and many ache to write it. But it was McInerney who succeeded.
