Description
_______________
'Urban tales of sex, sell-outs, divisions and divorces' - Harper's Bazaar
'Jay McInerney is the type of American novelist to whom English readers instinctively warm ... How It Ended is the work of a fine writer on the top of his form' - Sunday Telegraph
'McInerney rarely lets the reader down and the buzz you get from reading How It Ended will last longer than your usual fix' - Tatler
'Sharp, spare, exquisitely observed writing' - Daily Mail
_______________
Sex, excess and urban paranoia... this collection of short stories returns to hallmark McInerney territory
Discover a world of sex, excess and urban paranoia where worlds collide, relationships fragment and the dark underbelly of the American dream is exposed. A transgender prostitute accidentally propositions his own father. A senator's serial infidelities leave him in hot water. And two young lovers spend Christmas together high on different drugs.
McInerney's characters struggle together in a shifting world where old certainties dissolve and nobody can be sure of where they stand.
