With just a few weeks to go until the publication of my final volume in the tetralogy charting the marriage of Russell and Corrine Calloway, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE (on sale April 14), the first book in the series, BRIGHTNESS FALLS, has a new look – available now wherever books are sold.
A letter from Jay McInerney 🖊️
“Dear Reader,
SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE begins at the start of the pandemic, and takes its title from a handwritten sign that I saw taped inside a coffee shop window in the latter days of March, 2020, the idea being of course, that this would all be over soon. Once I approached the end of the novel the title took on new significance. This is the final installment of what is now a tetralogy that began with BRIGHTNESS FALLS. That book centers on the life of a glamorous young couple, Russell and Corrine Calloway, and their friends, making their way in New York in the late eighties. When the Word Trade Towers were attacked in Sept 2001, ten years after the publication, I was at a loss as to how to deal with that disaster but felt, as a New York novelist, I must. I settled on the idea of registering the event through the perceptions of the Calloways, whom I had continued to think about over the years. BRIGHT, PRECIOUS DAYS, set against the backdrop of Obama’s election and the recession of 2008, followed. I felt compelled to visit Russell and Corrine one more time a few years ago, and while the book stands entirely on its own, I like to think that together the four novels create a social history of New York in my time here, at the apex of the city’s brilliance.”
📖✨ SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE is out April 14th.
