It’s Mother’s Day! But, sorry Mom, we love you, but we’ve gotta bolt as soon as brunch is over. We have an engagement in the city: specifically, the launch of Jay McInerney’s Booktrack, entitled “Solace.” A Booktrack is an e-book short story with an ambient-noise soundtrack—while we haven’t heard “Solace” yet, we imagine the ambient sounds of late-period McInerney as the gentle swishing of Merlot in the glass and the quiet rings, far off, of cash registers. The party is to be hosted by literary lights including Candace Bushnell, Christopher Bollen and Courtney Love. (Hey, Courtney’s a mom, so we’ll ask her if our mother would prefer a “Solace” download or a copy of the new Nora Roberts!)

Invitation only, West Side.
