Description

Charlotte Swenson emerges from a car accident with her face so badly shattered that it takes eighty titanium screws to reassemble it. She returns to New York still beautiful but oddly unrecognizable, a virtual stranger in the world she once effortlessly occupied. As Charlotte navigates this new reality, Jennifer Egan threads her narrative with those of other casualties of our infatuation with the image. A deceptively plain teenaged girl embarks on a dangerous secret life, an alcoholic private eye, and an enigmatic stranger all become intertwined in a coolly mesmerizing intellectual thriller of identity and imposture. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human identity and the power of images to shape our perceptions.
