Talking about two Manhattan families who are teetering on the brink of change when 9/11 happens, this story explores, through the lens of catastrophe, that territory between hope and despair, between love and loss, between regret and fulfilment. It also presents us with the life of New York City in all its personal and moral complexity.

Ten years on from "Brightness Falls", Russell Calloway is still a literary editor although in a diminished capacity; his wife, Corrine, has sacrificed her career to watch anxiously over their children. Across town, Luke McGavock, a wealthy ex-investment banker, is taking a sabbatical from making money, struggling to reconnect with his socially resplendent wife, Sasha, and their angst-ridden teenage daughter, Ashley. These two Manhattan families are teetering on the brink of change when 9/11 happens. "The Good Life" explores through the lens of catastrophe that territory between hope and despair, between love and loss, between regret and fulfilment. But ultimately this is Jay McInerney doing what he does best, presenting us with the life of New York City in all its deeply personal and moral complexity.

Jay McInerney is the author of the novels, Bright Lights, Big City, Ransom, Story of My Life, Brightness Falls, The Last of the Savages and Model Behaviour, as well as one story collection How It Ended. He lives in New York and Nashville.
