«La Fin de tout» is Jay McInerney's collection of short stories, published by Éditions de l'Olivier in paperback (224 pages, in French).
La Fin de tout brings together New York-set stories marked by irony and melancholy, in line with the author's urban comedies. In one story, Alex starts smoking again every time he loses a woman and only quits when he falls in love anew; the collection evokes the pre-9/11 world with lightness and disenchantment.
Translated from American English by Jacqueline Huet and Jean-Pierre Carasso; part of the Littérature étrangère collection from Éditions de l'Olivier.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy bittersweet urban stories.
