“Extremely entertaining… elegant, subtle, shapely and reflective…. Perfect specimens.”
The New York Times

“A master of short fiction…. The characters [McInerney] crafts are so strong, the reader continues to care about them after the last page is turned.”
The Miami Herald

“[McInerney’s] stories are so immediately enveloping and powerful that we don’t notice how few words he uses to conjure his rich, complicated characters…. How It Ended is more than a victory lap for McInerney.”
