Bright Lights, Big City: Jay McInerney

You are at a nightclub talking to a girl with a shaved head. The club is either Heartbreak or the Lizard Lounge.

So begins our nameless hero`s trawl through the brightly lit streets of Manhattan, sampling all this wonderland has to offer yet suspecting that tomorrow`s hangover may be caused by more than simple excess. Bright Lights, Big City is an acclaimed classic which marked Jay McInerney as one of the major writers of our time.
