'Line for line, it's one of the funniest novels I have ever read' John Sutherland,

London Review of Books

'McInerney has proven himself not only a brilliant stylist but a master of characterisation, with a keen eye for the incongruities of urban life'

New York Times Book Review

'Story of My Life is quite as brilliant as Bright Lights, Big City'

Sunday Times

'McInerney's novels, filled with the depiction of glamorous imbecilities and hilarious excesses, are acute about a certain kind of Manhattan amorality. They offer a swift, intelligent guide to the latest racket'

Observer
