Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
Bright Lights, Big City is a brilliant and moving work--unique, refreshing, imaginatively powerful and authentically conceived. <br> -- The New York Times <br><br> Bright Lights, Big City defined, and even determined, the mood of this whole town. <br>-- Vanity Fair <br><br> Short, sleek and very funny.... Beneath it's surface, though, a heart's cry for a saner, sweeter, more thoughtful and restrained existence. <br>-- Chicago Tribune <br><br> Each generation needs its Manhattan novel, and many ache to write it. But it was McInerney who succeeded. <br>-- The New York Times Book Review |
