Bright Lights, Big City
McInerney's first novel, published to great acclaim, was published in 1984.
Ransom
Of this novel, published in 1985, Library Journal said, "The comic vision that informed Bright Lights surfaces again here, primarily in Ransom's gaijin amusement with the natives' imitation of anything American. Otherwise, this is a novel of high seriousness. Highly recommended."
Story of My Life
A review in The New York Times said of this 1989 novel, "Jay McInerney has proven himself not only a brilliant stylist but a master of characterization, with a keen eye for incongruities of urban life."
Brightness Falls
Published in 1992 to great reviews, this novel introduces the characters later seen in 2006's The Good Life. Of this novel, the Chicago Tribune said, "Quick and compelling...a rich, detailed panorama of New York City life. The pace is Wolfean, with quick jump cuts from one charged encounter to the next. It's hard not to try to squeeze in one more chapter before putting out the lights at bedtime."
The Last of the Savages
Publisher's Weekly called this 1997 novel, "affirming and wise."
Model Behavior
The Baltimore Sun said of this 1999 novel, ""A Great Gatsby for the end of the century."
Bacchus and Me
Of this nonfiction collection of Jay's writing on the subject of wine, Wine Advocate editor and noted oenophile Robert Parker said, "Some of the finest writing on the subject of wine... brilliant, witty, comical, and often shamelessly candid."
