weiter lesenJennifer Egan "Candy House"In ihrem neuen Roman „Candy House“ erzählt Jennifer Egan von den Folgen der digitalen Revolution und der Sozialen Medien. Egan, 1962 in Illinois geboren, ist bekannt dafür, sich in verschiedensten Erzählformen intensiv mit den Veränderungen unserer Gesellschaft zu beschäftigen. Im Zentrum von "Candy House" steht eine Erfindung, ein Kubus namens „Besitze Dein Unterbewusstes“ , in den man alle seine Erinnerungen – die bewussten und die unbewussten – hochladen und teilen kann. Eine Art digitaler Zauberapparat, der gleichzeitig eine große Chance ist - aber mit der Aufhebung von jeglicher Privatsphäre auch ein bedrohliches Szenario. Am Mikrofon: Anne-Dore Krohn.

The premise is that it has become possible for a person to have every one of their memories, since birth, encapsulated in a box and every one of those memories can be recalled.

The New Yorker Radio HourJennifer Egan on the Literary Pleasures of the Concept AlbumJennifer Egan’s new novel, “The Candy House,” one of the most anticipated books of the year, has just been published. It is related—not a sequel exactly, but something like a sibling—to her Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Visit from the Goon Squad,” from 2010.

Poured OverJennifer Egan on THE CANDY HOUSE"In the end, all the good ideas and sort of fancy craft approaches get you absolutely nothing if there's no emotional content. That's what it is. I mean, fiction is about going inside other people's minds and consciousnesses and looking through their eyes and living their lives in a way and that's all about emotions." Jennifer Egan challenged the way many of us thought about how (but not why) we tell stories in A Visit from the Goon Squad—which went on to win the Pulitzer.

Infinite GestationA Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan | Episode 033Infinite Gestation gets A Visit from the Goon Squad on this episode covering Jennifer Egan's 2010 Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name. The book stands more as a study on the emotional effects of time and memory (and life) on a group of loosely associated characters and less as a straight forward narrative in the traditional sense. With a realistic portrayal straying from cliched tropes of the record industry (including that of a Brady Bunch episode), the novel certainly completes its goals masterfully, leaving little wonder regarding the wisdom of its Pulitzer win.
