Jay McInerney
“McInerney’s always-sharp insights on social strata and human nature guarantee that in the midst of sadness we are also entertained.” —Los Angeles Times
The celebration of the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary of Russell Calloway’s best friend, Washington Lee—the least likely monogamist of his acquaintance somehow having become over the years a model husband and father—at the Odeon in the Spring of 2020 sparks an at once funny and moving autumnal reckoning with mortality as the specter of the Covid-19 virus spreads. In this moment of unprecedented upheaval—frantic and fraught real-time response, piercing personal and political impact—the Calloways find themselves and their marriage tested in ways they could never have anticipated as fatal consequences ensue.

Kritikerstimmen
“The tetralogy that began with 1992’s acclaimed Brightness Falls comes to a close with this volume, in which sixty-somethings Russell and Corrinne Calloway attend parties in early 2020 as the global pandemic encroaches. . . . McInerney’s always-sharp insights on social strata and human nature guarantee that in the midst of sadness we are also entertained.”
—Los Angeles Times
“As a culmination of the Calloway tetralogy, the novel offers an exquisite meditation on mortality, resilience, and cultural obsolescence, a poignant coda that illustrates the power of human connection as part of a life well-lived. . . . The conclusion of McInerney's Calloway saga, 10 years after the third volume, Bright, Precious Days, is a literary event that will galvanize readers.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“The string of nightlife scenes afford McInerney ample opportunities for razor-sharp observations on Manhattan’s elite, as well as sensuous depictions of culinary pleasures. . . . The author’s fans will savor this sobering finale to an insightful saga.”
—Publishers Weekly
“As the curtain closes on the Calloways’ fraught love story, faithful readers will feel sad but satisfied. The reliable pleasures of McInerney’s writing make even this darkest chapter a fun read.”
