This collection of stories examines worlds in collision, relationships fragmenting and the dark underbelly of the American dream. The characters in these stories struggle together in a shifting world where old certainties dissolve and nobody can be sure of where they stand.

About this title

Review:

'MCInerney flourishes.' -- Esquire

'McInerney is on top form...he mixes grungey low-lifers with stylish loft dwellers, giving a rich, varied picture of American life. Intense and enjoyable.' -- Cosmopolitan

'McInerney rarely lets the reader down and the buzz you get from reading How It Ended will last longer than your usual fix.' --Tatler

'Sharp, spare, exquisitely observed writing.' --Daily Mail

'Urban tales of sex, sell-outs, diversions, and divorces share the well-tailored prose and unerring ear for wise cracks and lies that are McInerney's Hallmark.' --Harpers & Queen
