Smoke (A Vintage Short)

A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection<br /> <br />That summer in New York, everyone was wearing yellow ties; the stock market was coming into a long bull run; and Corrine and Russell Calloway quit smoking.   <br /> <br />From the writer whose <i>Bright Lights, Big City </i>defined a generation and the city of New York: the taut, darkly funny, alternately sultry and wistful story of the Calloway clan, who also appear in <i>The Good Life </i>and <i>Brightness Falls. </i>A selection from <i>How It Ended</i>, a career-spanning collection of McInerney’s short fiction, which show him to be a master of the genre, “brim[ming] with all the attendant guilt and thrills and self-defeating impulses of an extramarital tryst . . . Brilliant” (<i>The Boston Globe</i>).  <br /> <br />An eBook short.
