Summary, Etc. Once again brilliantly combining the lyrical observation of F. Scott Fitzgerald with the laser-bright social satire of Evelyn Waugh, Jay McInerney gives us the stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting final volume in the tetralogy charting the marriage of Russell and Corrinne Calloway, now in their sixties, against the backdrop of various crises that have bedeviled our society in the past forty years. The celebration of the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary of Russell Calloway's best friend, Washington Lee--the least likely monogamist of his acquaintance somehow having become over the years a model husband and father--at the Odeon in the Spring of 2020 sparks an at once funny and moving autumnal reckoning with mortality as the specter of the Covid-19 virus spreads. In this moment of unprecedented upheaval--frantic and fraught real-time response, piercing personal and political impact--the Calloways find themselves and their marriage tested in ways they could never have anticipated as fatal consequences ensue.
