Look at Me

Jennifer Egan Press Reviews

'Brilliantly unnerving. . . . A haunting, sharp, splendidly articulate novel.' - The New York Times

'Comic, richly imagined, and stunningly written. . . . An energetic, unorthodox, quintessentially American vision of America. - The New Yorker

'Arresting. . . . Look at Me is the real thing-brave, honest, unflinching. [It] is itself a mirror in which we can clearly see the true face of the times in which we live.' - Francine Prose, The New York Observer

'Egan limns the mysteries of human identity and the stranglehold our image-obsessed culture has on us all in this complicated and wildly ambitious novel.' - Newsweek

'Intriguing. . . . An unlikely blend of tabloid luridness and brainy cultural commentary. . . . The novel's uncanny prescience gives Look at Me a rare urgency.' - Time

'Egan has created some compelling characters and written provocative meditations on our times. . . . [She] has captured our culture in its edge-city awfulness.' - The Washington Post Book World

'Look at Me is a complicated novel . . . but the questions it raises are worth following a lifetime of labyrinths toward the answers.' - Los Angeles Times
