His best work to date

Kate Saunders, Sunday Express

Giving Scott Fitzgerald's fictional world a modern make-over increasingly engages Jay McInerney's energies as a novelist ... Like Fitzgerald, he is enthralled by the casualties of affluence, the evanescent good times, the allure of glamour - especially metropolitan chic - and the disenchantment it inexorably brings in its wake

Peter Kemp, Sunday Times

Nothing less than three decades of Stateside history, in which the changing image of America is embodied in the existential shape-shifting of the main characters

John Walsh, Independent

An accomplished, courageous novel, beautifully constructed, able to span three decades with ease
