Model Behavior
Overview
In his funniest, most successful novel since his classic Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney returns to the restless urban landscape of Manhattan where a city lover's faith is being severely tested.
Connor McKnight's chic ennui is fast flipping into high anxiety as he struggles to keep his life intact. He has temporarily shelved his Akira Kurosawa biography in pursuit of an interview with elusive young actor Chip Ralston which will secure Connor's job at CiaoBella! magazine. Connor's model girlfriend has left him, and his sister is wasting her compassion for world suffering in anorexic seclusion. Connor can't even turn to his best friend, a brooding fiction writer who has balanced his sanity on the publication of a new story collection and the fate of his Irish terrier. So, on his own, Connor gropes his hilarious way not so much toward salvation as self-preservation, precariously steering clear of debauchery in its various forms--a martini glass, a gorgeous topless dancer, and even an e-mail stalker with "the acting bug."
