«Toute ma vie» is a novel by Jay McInerney, published in 2013 by Éditions de l'Olivier in paperback (220 pages, in French).
Set in nocturnal New York, it follows Alison Poole, an aspiring actress who squanders money with others' credit cards at parties and fleeting relationships. McInerney portrays her with irony and a certain tenderness as a postmodern Holly Golightly on the brink of collapse, in a hedonistic world where everything is permitted and nothing seems to matter.
For readers of contemporary American fiction seeking urban portraits with characters on the edge.
