Jennifer Egan and Don Lee

May 5, 2022


Jennifer Egan’s new novel is The Candy House, a “sibling” novel to her Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad. “Twisting through myriad points of view, narrative styles, and divergent voices, Egan proves herself as perceptive an interpreter of the necessity of human connection as ever, and her vision is as irresistible as the tech she describes,” wrote Publishers Weekly.

Don Lee’s new book of stories is The Partition. “It is flat-out brilliant: a witty, kaleidoscopic tear through questions of race and identity in America today by a writer who has wrought luminous fiction from these issues for years,” wrote Jennifer Egan. “Don Lee’s collection offers vivid, entertaining proof that ethnicity is never straightforward or easy—no matter who we are, or where we stand.”
