Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney
Why it stuck with me
Second person narration about a coked-up fact-checker falling apart in 80s Manhattan, and somehow it still feels true about ambition and burnout here. Short enough to finish in a weekend. If you're into stylish self-destruction, this is for you.
