Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ending of the emotional and matrimonial kind are the starting-point of the stories in McInerney's stylish new collection. Locked in relationships rumbling with discontent and melancholy, McInerney's sophisticates – bankers, lawyers and senators – seek solace in the arms of "creamy cupcakes" and recreational drugs before putting a call in to Donald Prout, New York's hottest matrimonial lawyer. Not a gloomy read, McInerney prose glints brightest and funniest when his characters are caught in the full glare of paranoiac meltdown.
