Two additional notes on the Jennifer Egan reading I went to on Monday:
- Via the Brooklyn Paper, Egan's next book is "a novel about the women who worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II."
- Egan credited her writing group with helping her through GOON SQUAD, noting that it's a group with a twist: No one reads work in advance before meetings; instead, the writer reads her or his work aloud to the rest of the group and gets instant reactions. This sounds (heh) like a great idea, although obviously it works for some particular forms and subgenres better than others. Anyone in?
