About The Event
Join Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan (Manhattan Beach) for the paperback launch of The Candy House, her follow-up sister novel to A Visit From the Goon Squad. Egan will read excerpts from her captivating novel and then the audience will have a special opportunity to engage in conversation with her about themes, stylistic choices, and the writing process in an extended Q&A.
The story opens with Bix Bouton and his successful tech company which allows users to access every memory they have ever had and share those memories in exchange for access to other people’s memories; the result is an intellectually daring tapestry of narratives exploring what it means to long for connection, love, and authenticity.
About The Organizer
The Center for Fiction is the only nonprofit literary organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to celebrating fiction, and we work every day to connect readers and writers. In February 2019, we opened the doors to our new building in Downtown Brooklyn, creating a home for NYC’s literary community, and in July 2019 we launched this website to reach readers and writers around the globe.
