    In this essay, I posit that Jennifer Egan and Alexandra Kleeman should be read as part of a distinct strand of contemporary literature and that such a reading does much to assist us in charting the period beyond the postmodern. This mode of writing has several key characteristics, some of which can be seen as in keeping with a more general turn as ...

    In reading Egan’s novel in conjunction with Kleeman’s, I suggest that both take as their structuring principle what Paul de Man calls the “specular moment” of autobiography. This phrase comes from “Autobiography as De-facement,” where de Man uses it to refer to the “alignment between the two subjects involved in the process of reading in which they...

    In the opening of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, narrator A reminds us of the close relationship between self and nation, as she poses an indirect challenge to Walt Whitman and those of his Transcendentalist ilk. “Is it true,” A asks, “that we are more or less the same on the inside?” This question – the usually unspoken crux of all fictions of...

    All academic work is a collaborative enterprise. My thanks as ever and always to Dr. Sarah Bernstein and, in particular, to Dr. Paul Crosthwaite, a better and kinder reader than anyone might deserve.

  2. Jan 23, 2019 · Look at Me is a very accomplished novel. What impresses me most about it is how cleverly Brookner controls the narrative.

Reviews; Interviews; Reading Guide; After writing The Invisible Circus, in which the action of the novel is rather fully explained psychologically, I wanted to write a book whose connections were felt rather than understood, a book that was more deeply mysterious.

  5. Feb 23, 2016 · The premise for Look at Me is simple but effective; and in fact I'd describe most of the book that way too. Our central character Lizzy and her brother Ig discover that their father has a daughter they didn't know about. They find out by chance after coming across a letter from said daughter, and…

    Sep 18, 2001 · It is a sorry little worm's view of the off-beat of adult pressure, of contemporary strictures and conformity, of sentiment…. A strict report, worthy of sympathy. In her sprawling, ambitious second novel, Egan (The Invisible Circus, 1995) questions the shift in America’s cultural underpinnings from industry to information, using as dual ...
