'A funny, self-mocking, sometimes brilliant portrait of Manhattan's young literary and Wall Street crowd, our latest Lost Generation ... McInerney's version of Thackeray's Vanity Fair' * Time * 'Smart, funny and brilliant' * Independent * 'McInerney has a gift for the simultaneous perception of the glamour and tawdriness of city life and the novel pulsates with his trademark sense of excitement about living in New York' * Evening Standard * Humane and emotionally gripping * Daily Mail * 'It works greatly to McInerney's advantage - and our entertainment - that he is fascinated by what he flagellates ... this book rolls along to an ominous beat ... powerfully affecting' * Independent * McInerney writes with compassion and wit and is never better than when observing the social mores of his contemporaries -- Tatler
