b'
This week, our guest is Jennifer Egan, who writes with nuance on an astounding range of subjects and disciplines. Her novels include\\xa0The Invisible Circus, Look at Me,\\xa0and\\xa0Manhattan Beach,\\xa0That intellectual breadth also shows up in her journalism, featured in\\xa0The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Harper\\u2019s Magazine,\\xa0and elsewhere. Her most recent novel,\\xa0The Candy House,\\xa0is a sort of sibling to the Pulitzer Prize-winning\\xa0A Visit from the Goon Squad, featuring some of that book\\u2019s most beloved characters.\\xa0 It\\u2019s set in a near-future in which a technology allows you to access any memory you\\u2019ve ever had. From first person plural, to third person, to a chapter written in tweets, The Candy House demonstrates why Egan is one of the most acclaimed fiction writers in recent years.\\xa0 On March 16, 2023, Jennifer Egan came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to be interviewed on stage by Steven Winn.
