Look at Me
by Jennifer Egan
Jennifer Egan is a tough writer to love. I walk away from her books (I much preferred the second one I read, The Keep) confused and not particularly liking the characters, trying to figure out what message she's trying to convey. I have found myself days, weeks, even when I'm well into other books, still thinking about her voice, the way she's put things, what she's left out and when she's chosen to stop telling the story. I realized finally that is what makes good literature. The greats ain't easy. "Look at Me" isn't on par with great works of fiction, but Jennifer Egan could be an author well on her way there. She really doesn't care whether today's audience likes her or not.
