Youthful hedonism clashes with stark reality.

"Bright Lights, Big City" exemplifies the quintessential 80s experience, capturing the pulse and paradox of that era's New York underbelly. If the fast-paced, decadent side of life's spectrum appeals to you, this book offers a window into the glamour and emptiness of chasing illusions. It's a ride through excess, introspection, and the hunger for something more—perfect for anyone who's ever felt both elevated and ensnared by the city's luminous facade.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

With the publication of Bright Lights, Big City in 1984, Jay McInerney became a literary sensation, heralded as the voice of a generation. The novel follows a young man, living in Manhattan as if he owned it, through nightclubs, fashion shows, editorial offices, and loft parties as he attempts to outstrip mortality and the recurring approach of dawn. With nothing but goodwill, controlled substances, and wit to sustain him in this anti-quest, he runs until he reaches his reckoning point, where he is forced to acknowledge loss and, possibly, to rediscover his better instincts. This remarkable novel of youth and New York remains one of the most beloved, imitated, and iconic novels in America.
