Authors - Jay McInerney

Jay McInerney's critically acclaimed and best selling novels include "Bright Lights, Big City," "Ransom," "Story of My Life," "Brightness Falls" and his latest, "The Good Life," now available in paperback.

He is also the author of a story collection, "How It Ended," and two books about wine, "A Hedonist in the Cellar" (available Nov. 6 in paperback) and "Bacchus and Me," which Robert Parker praised as "some of the finest writing on the subject ... brilliant, witty, comical and often shamelessly candid."

McInerney, the 2006 recipient of the James Beard Foundation's M.F.K. Fisher Distinguished Writing Award, writes a wine column which appears monthly in House & Garden magazine. He is also a contributing editor of New York magazine.
