The best-selling Brightness Falls - from the author of Bright Lights, Big City.

In the story of Russell and Corrine Calloway, set against the world of New York publishing, McInerney provides a stunningly accomplished portrayal of people contending with early success, then getting lost in the middle of their lives.

Incredibly sharp writing and a spellbinding performance—the 80s setting and characters are utterly alive with details finely observed. This is top tier stuff.

The story is intriguing, moving at a fast pace around a couple and their friends. The writing was right, other than the overuse of words like “sepulchral.” The characters were well drawn but exaggerated to make a point.

Interesting Insight Into Relationships

A very solid book by Jay Mac. Shows his strength and growth as a writer from his brat pack days to Brightness Falls. A simple story of a yuppie couple that holds up all these years later. Good work

Not Bright Lights but still legit

Absolutely floored!
