Über diesen Titel

 Once again brilliantly combining the lyrical observation of F. Scott Fitzgerald with the laser-bright social satire of Evelyn Waugh, Jay McInerney gives us the stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting final volume in the tetralogy charting the marriage of Russell and Corrinne Calloway, now in their sixties, against the backdrop of various crises that have bedeviled our society in the past forty years.

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

“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.”
