Over three decades since the release of his best-selling novel Brightness Falls, critically acclaimed author Jay McInerney has confirmed that the release of his new novel, See You on the Other Side, will officially conclude his long-running series.
McInerney's first novel in a decade, See You on the Other Side also draws to a close what readers have described as the fan-favorite Calloway series. While initially believed to be a trilogy that ended with 2016's Bright, Precious Days, McInerney's new novel will instead act as the final send-off to his overarching characters, Corrine and Russell Calloway.
The announcement and subsequent confirmation came directly from McInerney himself over social media, with the 71-year-old author alluding to the upcoming book's release via Alfred A. Knopf's Instagram page.
"Dear Reader," McInerney's note began. "See You on the Other Side, begins at the start of the pandemic, and takes its title from a handwritten sign that I saw taped inside a coffee shop window in the latter days of March, 2020, the idea being of course, that this would all be over soon."
"Once I approached the end of the novel the title took on new significance," the author continued. "This is the final installment of what is now a tetralogy that began with Brightness Falls. That book centers on the life of a glamorous young couple, Russell and Corrine Calloway, and their friends, making their way in New York in the late eighties."
"When the Word Trade Towers were attacked in Sept 2001, ten years after the publication, I was at a loss as to how to deal with that disaster but felt, as a New York novelist, I must," he went on to say. "I settled on the idea of registering the event through the perceptions of the Calloways, whom I had continued to think about over the years."
"Bright, Precious Days, set against the backdrop of Obama’s election and the recession of 2008, followed," McInerney concluded. "I felt compelled to visit Russell and Corrine one more time a few years ago, and while the book stands entirely on its own, I like to think that together the four novels create a social history of New York in my time here, at the apex of the city’s brilliance.”
McInerney's highly anticipated new novel, See You on the Other Side, arrives in stores on April 14, 2026.
