A first edition, first printing of ‘Bright Lights, Big City, published by Jonathan Cape in 1985. A fine book with – no inscriptions. In a fine unclipped wrapper with a touch of fading to the spine – complete with publisher’s review slip.
‘Bright Lights, Big City’ by Jay McInerney is a novel set in 1980s New York, following a young, unnamed protagonist as he spirals through nights of partying, cocaine use, and emotional disconnection. Written in second-person narration, the book captures the disorientation of a fast-paced, hedonistic lifestyle while exploring themes of loss, identity, and alienation. McInerney’s sharp, stylish prose paints a vivid portrait of urban excess and existential crisis in the Reagan-era Manhattan literary scene.
