Praise for Jay McInerney and How It Ended:

“McInerney’s star burns as bright as ever.” —Vanity Fair
 
“How It Ended reminds us how impressively broad McInerney’s scope has been and how confidently he has ranged across wide swaths of our national experience. . . .  He possesses the literary naturalist’s full tool kit: empathy and curiosity, a peeled eye and a well-tuned ear, a talent for building narratives at once intimate and expansive, plausible and inventive.” —Sam Tanenhaus, The New York Times Book Review, front page
 
“They are hyped and hungover, rueful party animals and sapped social climbers, wayward spouses and strangers in the night. . . . Characters in Jay McInerney’s How It Ended are fresh, fraught personalities.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
 
“Brim[s] with all the attendant guilt and thrills and self-defeating impulses of an extramarital tryst. . . .  Brilliant.” —The Boston Globe
