A review by renaplays
Bright, Precious Days by Jay McInerney

5.0

Characters push against "the city (that) is supremely indifferent to their transit through its arteries." McInerney re-emerges as a writer to read about life in this moment. His style is almost old-fashioned, with sentences carefully crafted and yet smooth, and his characters reveal themselves and their plots with subtle sensitivity and a respectful understanding. A pleasure in every way.
