'Shows McInerney at his best' SPECTATOR'Our modern-day Fitzgerald' VANITY FAIR'One of the most gifted writers of his generation' OBSERVERThe eagerly anticipated final volume of Jay McInerney’s stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting fictional tetralogy: Brightness Falls, The Good Life, Bright Precious Days, and now See You on the Other SideIt's early 2020 in New York, and the looming threat of a global pandemic begins to unsettle the gilded lives of Manhattan’s literary and social elite. Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are navigating a new chapter: downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and all the while facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence. Their daughter, Storey, prepares to launch her dream restaurant in Brooklyn just as fear begins to empty dining rooms and the city starts to shut down. Meanwhile, as the world tilts towards crisis, Russell is pulled between domestic stability and the temptation of an affair with a younger writer – an emotional turmoil which reignites complicated questions about fidelity and the alternate paths their lives might have taken. Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side is a dazzling finale to the bestselling Calloway series, capturing the disorientation of a couple forced to confront their own mortality amidst shifting cultural tides and the slow unravelling of the world they once knew.
