I love cities more than any other place in the world, but New York consumes me even faster than I consume it. . . . On the other hand, I just like being here better than anywhere else. My pulse-rate goes up; I love it.
-Jay McInerney, Boston Globe, June 18, 1996

I think most good fiction begins in autobiography and ends somewhere else altogether... If Tad Allagash works—and everybody knows one—it's a projection of some of the things I like in myself least... a projection of the most superficial and brutal but at the time most socially successful aspects of my own personality.
-Jay McInerney, Washington Post
