About this listen
"A brilliant and moving work—unique, refreshing, imaginatively powerful and authentically conceived."—The New York Times
The novel follows a young man, living in Manhattan as if he owned it, through nightclubs, fashion shows, editorial offices, and loft parties as he attempts to outstrip mortality and the recurring approach of dawn. With nothing but goodwill, controlled substances, and wit to sustain him in this anti-quest, he runs until he reaches his reckoning point, where he is forced to acknowledge loss and, possibly, to rediscover his better instincts.
"Bright Lights, Big City defined, and even determined, the mood of this whole town."—Vanity Fair©1984 Jay McInerney; ©2009 Random House
