Day 27 - #emerald #literaryluck #emeraldcity #jenniferegan
11 masterful stories deal with loneliness, longing, regret and desire. Egan‘s characters, models and housewives, bankers and schoolgirls, are united by their search for something outside their own realm of experience. They set out from locations as exotic as China and Bora Bora, as cosmopolitan as downtown Manhattan, or as familiar as suburban Illinois to seek their own transformations.
pickI finished this last night, I enjoyed it and was my first book by the author. I really liked Anna, thought she was quite a strong character. #manhattenbeach #jenniferegan #books

Both this book and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao won the Pulitzer, both use footnotes as a stylistic device, and both have super similar-looking covers. o_O
