“Model Behavior” by Jay McInerney follows the life of Connor McKnight, a journalist in Manhattan whose life is unraveling. Connor works for a fashion magazine called “CiaoBella!” and finds himself struggling both professionally and personally. His supermodel girlfriend, Philomena, has left him, and he is facing pressure at work to secure an important interview to keep his job.
As Connor navigates the superficial world of downtown clubs and celebrity events, he deals with his sister’s battle with anorexia and his best friend’s unstable career in writing. The novel is a satirical take on the New York social scene, highlighting the vapidity and pretensions of its characters.
Throughout the book, McInerney uses his trademark wit and sharp social commentary, though some critics feel the story lacks the depth needed to support its more serious themes. Ultimately, Connor’s journey leads him to a point of self-reflection and a desire to pursue a more meaningful path, symbolized by his decision to write a screenplay about his life (PenguinRandomhouse.com) (Kirkus Reviews) (Barnes & Noble).
