'One of the most gifted writers of his generation' OBSERVER
The eagerly anticipated final volume of Jay McInerney’s stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting fictional tetralogy: Brightness Falls, The Good Life, Bright Precious Days, and now See You on the Other Side
It's early 2020 in New York, and the looming threat of a global pandemic begins to unsettle the gilded lives of Manhattan’s literary and social elite. Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are navigating a new chapter: downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and all the while facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence.
Their daughter, Storey, prepares to launch her dream restaurant in Brooklyn just as fear begins to empty dining rooms and the city starts to shut down. Meanwhile, as the world tilts towards crisis, Russell is pulled between domestic stability and the temptation of an affair with a younger writer – an emotional turmoil which reignites complicated questions about fidelity and the alternate paths their lives might have taken.
Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side is a dazzling finale to the bestselling Calloway series, capturing the disorientation of a couple forced to confront their own mortality amidst shifting cultural tides and the slow unravelling of the world they once knew.©2026 Jay McInerney (P)2026 Penguin Random House LLC

Critic reviews
As the curtain closes on the Calloways' fraught love story, faithful readers will feel sad but satisfied. The reliable pleasures of McInerney's writing make even this darkest chapter a fun read
Since Brightness Falls, we have followed the Calloways in two other novels set at crisis points in their marriage, but this one has an emotional depth that shows McInerney at his best
The tetralogy that began with 1992’s acclaimed Brightness Falls comes to a close with this volume, in which sixty-somethings Russell and Corrinne Calloway attend parties in early 2020 as the global pandemic encroaches. . . . McInerney’s always-sharp insights on social strata and human nature guarantee that in the midst of sadness we are also entertained
