“Not only a brilliant stylist but a master of characterization, with a keen eye for the incongruities of urban life.” New York Times
Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence. Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side captures 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.
Jay McInerney came to prominence in 1984 with his first novel Bright Lights, Big City .
