Story of my Life by Jay McInerey [FIRST EDITION]

FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [1988] ATLANTIC MONTHLY PRESS

Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition.  Book is like new. 

In this breathlessly paced novel, Jay McInerney revisits the nocturnal New York of Bright Lights, Big City. Alison Poole, twenty going on 40,000, is a budding actress already fatally well versed in hopping the clubs, shopping Chanel falling in and out of lust, and abusing other people's credit cards. As Alison races toward emotional breakdown, McInerney gives us a hilarious yet oddly touching portrait of a postmodern Holly Golightly coming to terms with a world in which everything is permitted and nothing really matters.
