A Visit from the Goon Squad. The Pulitzer committee called it “an inventive investigation of growing up and growing old in the digital age.”
Egan will be happy to answer questions about her novel, which also received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and the
LA Times Book Prize. Her earlier books include
The Invisible Circus, which was released as a feature film starring Cameron Diaz in 2001;
Look at Me, which was nominated for a National Book Award in 2001;
Emerald City and other Stories; and the bestselling
The Keep. In addition, her non-fiction articles appear frequently in the
