Model Behavior: A Novel and Stories

Amazon.com

Readers familiar with Jay McInerney's Bright Lights Big City may feel a sense of déjà vu when reading Model Behavior. Once again our hero is a small cog in the glamorous Manhattan media machine. Yet although the players may look the same, the rules of the game have changed--their ambitions and expectations are not the same as they were a decade or more ago. Connor McKnight is not brought low by drugs and other symbols of 1980s-style excess; instead, his relationship is destroyed by premillennial ennui and the numbing effects of his career as a celebrity journalist (celebrity being to the '90s what cocaine was to the '80s). The fact that all these shiny happy people really aren't happy at all is hardly news, but McInerney is both a chronicler and a satirist of this glitzy corner of the world, and his astute wit saves the novel from being as shallow as its subjects. This is not poisonous satire à la Martin Amis but a more affectionate (yet equally effective) mocking of modern pretensions, such as P.G. Wodehouse in Hugo Boss. McInerney's comic timing is best demonstrated in one of the longest scenes, a Thanksgiving dinner that ends in chaos when Connor's father exposes himself to the turkey-munching patrons of a tony Manhattan eatery. While the author's sixth book may not be very far removed from his first, that isn't necessarily a criticism. Like a botanist who studies only pondweed, McInerney has narrowed his focus to perfect it. Model Behavior, and the seven stories collected with it, demonstrate that no one else can render this peculiar little social set as accurately, or as artfully as McInerney. --Simon Leake

Book Description

With five novels over the past fourteen years, Jay McInerney has demonstrated time and again "his talent for capturing the nuances and idiosyncrasies of our culture" (San Francisco Chronicle), and nowhere is this more apparent than in Model Behavior, in which he returns to the locale of Bright Lights, Big City, Story of My Life, and Brightness Falls: the restless isle of Manhattan, where neither wishes nor even dreams ever sleep.

Connor McKnight--former acolyte of film, Zen and Japanese literature--is not unaware that these avocations are wildly remote from his present occupation (fledgling celebrity journalist). Moreover, his longtime girlfriend, the fashion model Philomena, suddenly seems curiously remote herself--and soon enough appears to have decamped, avec diaphragm, for the other coast. Then there's the sister with whom he shared a flamboyantly addled childhood, and who now matches her brilliance for theoretical abstraction with a compassion for world suffering so acute that her own well-being is imperiled.
These and other anxieties, Connor finds, can scarcely be assuaged by his trio of flirting obsessions--a gorgeous stripper, a screenplay-in-progress in his drawer, the notion of a meaningful future--or by his principal ally and best friend, a monkishly neurotic, militantly vegetarian writer whose sanity balances precisely on the publication of his new story collection and on the fate of his Irish terrier.

So now, as Thanksgiving and Christmas bear down upon him, not to mention a female admirer who's stalking him by e-mail, Connor gropes his hapless, hilarious way toward not so much salvation as self-preservation, favoring the right things as he is relentlessly pursued by all the wrong, bad, ill-advised or plain unlucky.

Model Behavior is McInerney at full tilt--while the seven stories included trace the arc of his career and, in their exploration of the varieties of delusion, fame and experience, display anew his rare ability to comprehend and re-create the manic flux of our society.

Makes Me Wish Jay Mcinerney Was A More Prolific Short Story Writer.......2007-09-14

I didn't read the title novella, Model Behavior, because it didn't interest me at this time, but I did read each of the seven short stories Mcinerney included after it, and found them good. I particularly liked the story in which Corrine and Russell Calloway from the Mcinerney novels Brightness Falls, and The Good Life, attempt to quit smoking. Mcinerney should do more in the short story art form. It well suits his talents.

A well-written rehash.......2006-12-21

It has been said that everybody has precisely one authentic story to tell. McInerney clearly told that story in Bright Lights, and hasn't been able to change the formula significantly--alternating between "experimental" books (such as Ransom and Last of the Savages), and the same New-York-professional-whose-life-is-falling-to-sh*t fallback tale (Bright Lights, Story of My Life, Brightness Falls, and Model Behavior).

He's a fantastic stylist, however, and the book is exceptionally well-written and entertaining, as long as you literally expect no new material beyond what you saw in Bright Lights.

Bright Lights, Big City Part 2.......2006-11-03

Model Behavior covers a lot of the same ground as Bright Lights, Big City. There's a depressed guy (he's a little older than the main character of BLBC, probably because McInerney is too), he's got a model girlfriend that is leaving him, he's a low ranking writer for a magazine, with aspirations of being a screenwriter. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It's basically a rewrite with different names. Also, the character lived in Japan for a few years, much like Chris Ransom in McInerney's Ransom. The Japanese culture is referenced frequently, as if to prove that McInerney knows about another culture. This story doesn't feel like McInerney is trying very hard, and it shows in the way the story drags and occasionally seems to repeat itself. There are some good social observations, but at times McInerney takes those too far, mocking himself the writer in a review, but others (like Stephen King) have done that sort of mocking much better.

Overall, it's an interesting story, and there are redeeming qualities that will keep you reading, but by the end it's all fairly pointless.

I'm not going to review the 7 short stories that come after the novel Model Behavior in this book, because all 7 stories appear with 3 others in the book How It Ended. Weird... So, I'll review them there together there.

Model Behavior, model storytelling........2004-05-10

I picked up McInerney's book on the remainders table at Barnes & Noble for a modest price. Little did I know I would be purchasing a rarity in current fiction: A very good and readable book. I literally had trouble putting it down and I never have that problem. 'Model' follows the exploits of Connor McKnight, an emotionally stunted alcoholic with an anorexic sister fixated on third-world suffering, a model girlfriend who may or may not have left him and a crappy job at a fashion mag he hates. Throw into the mix a brooding writer-best friend with a huge chip on his shoulder, a Chip with a huge ego, a stripper/wannabe-actress/train wreck love interest/unattainable goal named Pallas and many other, well conceived and executed characters and what you get is a very convincing voyeuristic view of a down-and-out man that is searching for something no one can seem to find, let alone the writer's protagonist. Did I fail to mention the ongoing Japanese cultural lessons throughout the work? Or the kidnapped and ransomed pet dog? What about the acidic, plastic she-demon boss? No? Well, you'll just have to buy the book and find out for yourself because Model Behavior is a real treat to read and no review could do the mix-mash of personalities and situations justice. McInerney is a very witty writer with a penchant for poking fun at the person you can expect him to be in real life, which makes the reading even more pleasurable. The book has a weird flow that at first is distracting, but works well once one gets used to the pacing. Please, do consider this book. It will have you laughing, commiserating and wishing it would have been a couple hundred pages longer.

Clever Storytelling!.......2003-07-30

I picked up the book to read on a flight to New York. I didn't know anything about the author or the story, I just picked it based on it's cover. (Not this one, it has a plain white t-shirt on a hanger against a blue background) By the end of the flight I had finished it! I love this book!

McInerney tells you a story of a writer named Connor McKnight, the relationships between his friends and his former girlfriend who leaves him by telling him she's going on a shoot. Yup! A relationship with a model. A writer and a model, how clique right! It's more than you think. While telling you his story you come to realize how sad and completely empty this man is. But only by choice. He is surrounded by friends who trust him and love him but he still pins for his ex-girlfriend Philomena. McInerney's writing is exceptionally charming because the way he describes events and emotions include every detail of the situations. A book by one of his writer friends Jeremy Green, 'Walled In', even tells their story, Jeremy and Connor's combined. Their story inside the narration. A delightful coincidence!

This book shows McInerney's sharp and quick witted observation of the society we live in. If he can do this, he can write on just about anything!

Fantasy series fans may argue over the relative merits of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but in a world of middle books that go nowhere and endless waits between episodes, Goodkind is certainly still serving up some of the best fantasy on today's menu.

The Seeker of Truth and his Mother Confessor sweetie are both looking a little worse for the wear after their chime-hunt in Soul of the Fire. To top that off, Lord Rahl finds himself a reluctant prophet with the vision that their cause, the fight for freedom against the Imperial Order, is essentially sunk. (Chalk that up to part of the Wizard's First Rule: people really are stupid.) The two lovers soon find themselves separated, Richard off to the Old World thanks to treacherous Sister of the Dark Nicci, and Kahlan left behind, forced to betray Richard and his prophecy by raising an army to fend off the approaching armies of Emperor Jagang.

Whether it's fair or not, Goodkind will likely get beaten up a bit for visiting the trough once too often, à la Jordan. But fear not: Faith of the Fallen does progress at a good clip, and its conclusion--while by no means a final payout--should satisfy. --Paul Hughes

Book Description

Terry Goodkind author of the enormously popular Sword of Truth novels, has forged perhaps his best novel yet, pitting Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell against threats to the freedom of the world that will take them to opposite ends of the world to defeat the forces of chaos and anarchy.Emperor Jagang is rising once again in the Old World and Richard must face him, on his own turf. Richard heads into the Old World with Cara, the Mord-Sith, while his beloved Kahlan remains behind. Unwilling to heed an ancient prophecy, Kahlan raises an army and goes into battle against forces threatening armed insurrection in the Midlands.Separated and fighting for their lives, Richard and Kahlan will be tested to the utmost.AUTHORBIO: Terry Goodkind lives in the Northeastern U.S.REVIEW: "Notable for its engaging secondary characters, the novel also evinces flashes of sly wit, as when an evil Chime takes the form of a menacing chicken. ....Goodkind's ingenious world-building will keep readers captivated by the latest installment of his bestselling Sword of Truth series." (Publishers Weekly)

Customer Reviews:

It was a great book.......2007-10-05

My husband just loved the book. He is adddicted to reading these books and can't wait to pick up the next one.

functional, but not fun.......2007-09-30

If you're about to get on an airplane or a container ship you could do worse. You could do a lot better as well.
I get tired of how every character is both completely transparent and painfully earnest. It makes for a predictable and irritating story. The book is desperately in need of some ambiguity, or cynicism, or at least a sense of humor. I also didn't need a crude allegory about soviet style communism and the healing power of art.

PAGE TURNER.......2007-09-24

FAITH OF THE FALLEN is a wonderful book! This novel puts Goodkind back in the place he should be: As a top notch creator of character driven plots with powerful locations that honestly produce a long fun ride! Certainly his message is clear and very positive. I love the way he uses something unexpected to move a message forward about humanity. The only gripe I might have would be simply this: Can Richard do everything? He is almost unbelievably larger than life, but this does not really cause a problem. Fantasy, by nature, produces larger than life characters. It is handled so well that one does not really notice. Honestly, I came away from the book liking Richard even more. He is like an old friend that is fun to visit with in the massive tomes that Goodkind produces for our enjoyment. Impressive!

***SPOILER WARNING***

Warren's death broke my heart. I really liked the guy, but it just goes to show that Goodkind is willing to do what needs to be done in order to move the plot and make the world real to the reader.

Faith Of The Fallen..........2007-09-23

Now I know some folks don't think Terry Goodkind does that great of a job, I think to the contrary...that man makes books where you can feel the pain, the love,the lust and the hate...when a book can do that to you you know you've found something special...now Faith Of The Fallen epitomizes now a days...we sit in a state of disillusion till one of us figures our place in life and rises above bringing others with us...as usual Terry Goodkind shows that art is alive and well...

Book 6.......2007-09-20

I have only just begun reading this book...but from what I've read thus far it is very good. i highly recommend this series.

Book Description

Do Christianity and modern liberal democracy share a common moral vision, or are they opposed and even hostile to each other? In "Christian Faith and Modern Democracy", Robert Kraynak challenges the commonly accepted view that Christianity is inherently compatible with modern democratic society. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Kraynak argues that there is no necessary connection between Christianity and any form of government and that, in many important respects, Christianity is weakened by its close alliance with contemporary versions of democracy and human rights.

"Christian Faith and Modern Democracy" was written, in part, to convince secular intellectuals that modern democracy needs God. But it was also written in response to the new consensus about politics that has emerged among Christian believers. Almost all churches and theologians now think that the form of government most compatible with Christianity is democracy and that the historic opposition of the Christian tradition to democracy and to various forms of liberalism was a mistake. What caused Christians to change their view of political authority and to embrace liberal democracy? Were they wise to change their view?

This provocative book attempts to answer these questions by reexamining the relationship between democracy and Christianity through the lens of St. Augustine's distinction between the city of God and the earthly city, applied to the conditions of the modern age. Kraynak argues that St. Augustine's teaching provides the basis for a Christian theory of constitutional government and permits a variety of legitimate forms of government, including constitutional democracy. Yet, unlike contemporary Christian doctrines, it does so without embracing the subversive premises of liberalism that have threatened to turn the Christian faith into little more than a mirror image of the modern world.

Sure to spark controversy among secular intellectuals and Christian believers alike, this insightful volume is an outstanding work of political philosophy with a firm foundation in theology.

A Painful Possibility.......2006-01-21

This book takes a hard look at some of our most cherished notions; namely human rights and the notion of personal and political freedom. While claiming that Kant is the main culprit in giving birth to the current backslide of society into a self-destroying autonomy, the author questions even those movements (namely Christian personalism) that have tried to baptize Kant's notions of autonomy and turn them into a force for good and for God. While this criticism of Christian Personalism is not entirely warranted, it does raise a very serious question that needs to be considered; namely, what will be the final outcome of the Church's project of meeting the world on many of its own terms (terms redefined and redirected towards God)and bringing it to conversion? When we look at St. Paul and his appeal to the Unknown God of the Greeks, we realize that perhaps there is some precedent for success with the Church's current approach.

It appears that the author's reason for the criticism of Christian Personalism is fairly understandable. Regardless of how rights and freedom are metaphysically grounded, if those particularly modern political and personal notions are so extraordinarily liberating, then why (to ironically borrow a famous phrase) do we everywhere in modern democracies find ourselves more and more in chains? Why do we see so many atrocities committed (and turned into law) in the name of rights and freedom?

One cannot walk away from this book without gaining a profound sense of the limitations of our current form of democracy and of our cherished notions of personal freedom, human dignity and human rights. We really do have to place our hope in God and not in democracy or freedom. Those latter notions can too easily turn against us. It is an extremely sobering read to say the least.

Liberalism is Dead!.......2002-05-24

This is a genuine 21st century article. Liberalism--based on the idea of the sovereign individual--has no future.

"Constitutionalism Without Liberalism".......2001-11-24

R. P. Kraynak, who teaches political science at Colgate, reminds us of Augustine's Doctrine of the Two Cities, meaning that the state's sphere is political and economic management and the church's sphere is salvation of souls. The two realms or swords are distinct but not separate. Indeed, the effective implementation of the Augustinian proposal, Prof. Kraynak maintains, preserves us, on the one hand, from the danger of a totalitarian politics and, on the other, from the danger of theocracy. In an effective and even elegant argument, he warns us, however, that the church's (or, perhaps, churches') embrace of Kant's "personalism"--that we are people and not things--is, after a point, incompatible with Christianity, for Kantianism is rooted in naturalism, denyiny our eternal destiny and supernatural duties. Christianity has become so suffused with the liberal language of "rights" that it is increasingly given to the kind of sociological leveling and mass taste which are the poisoned fruit of the Modern Project but are finally destructive of political order. The Gospel, Kraynak suggests, tells us not only of the law of love but also of the fact of sin. Recognition of those eternal realities are at the heart of prudent statecraft and of Christian faith. We witness today a secular chiliasm which "defines deviancy down" (238-242) and leads to moral relativism, nihilism, and emotivism which deny the transcendent and exalt ungrounded and unbounded "rights." Kraynak's insights into the ideas of freedom and dignity (61; cf. Rom 7:22 and 1 Pt 3:4), of proper Christian resistance to human rights (153), and of the roles of the secular state (189, 228-229; cf. 1 Pt 2:13-17) are simply superb. Although he might have mined Voegelin's works more effectively--and should have learned the proper spelling of "supersede" (!)--he cogently marshals the work of Solzhenitsyn, Goerner, Niemeyer, O'Donovan, Maritain, Novak, John Courtney Murray, John Finnis, MacIntyre, Strauss, and Lasch, in addition to John Paul II and Reinhold Niebuhr, while standing in principled opposition to Ackerman, Dworkin, Rawls, and Rorty. "Modern culture has cut out the highest part of the human soul," he writes, "the part that longs for eternity and for spiritual transcendence of the here and now, the part that seeks the presence of the Incarnate God . . ." (270). Warmly recommended!
