Title: Part of a long tradition
Review: There's actually a long tradition of hatchet-job novels written by the spurned lovers of famous writers. Sinclair Lewis and Thomas Wolfe both felt the axe in their day. This is certainly the closest Jay McInerney will ever come to joining their company.Needless to say, I didn't open this book expecting anything on the level of Colette's "The Vagabond". All I asked for were a few laughs at Jay's expense and some glittery New York scenes. They weren't there. I can only mourn the trees that were sacrificed for this one...
