New Year’s Lit?

Posted on 31 December 2007.

Speaking of New Year’s Eve and all, can anyone think of a good book that centers on New Year’s festivities? I’m sure there’s a major book out there and I’m just blanking on it, but off the top of my head, I can’t think of anything. Know of any books where New Year’s Eve features prominently in the plot?

Nick Hornby’s 2005 novel “A Long Way Down” kicks off on New Year’s Eve, when the main characters independently converge on a popular place to commit suicide in London, and then make a pact with each other that they won’t actually go through with it. So there’s a cheery example for you!
