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.

• Series Finale: This book concludes the saga that began with Bright Lights, Big City in spirit, specifically continuing the story of the Calloways from (1992), (2006), and (2016).
• Themes: The novel explores the couple in their sixties, navigating life against the backdrop of the pandemic and changing social landscapes.
• Availability: Published by Alfred A. Knopf, it is McInerney's first novel in a decade.
