"The Candy does what only the best and rarest books can: peel back the thin membrane of ordinary life, and find transcendence on the other side." --Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly"The Candy House is bursting with stories, thick with beating hearts...Egan's writing dazzles." --Maggie Galehouse, Houston Chronicle "May be the smartest novel you read all year...

Jennifer Egan's new one, The Candy House, is one of these novels. This is minimalist maximalism. It's as if Egan compressed a big 19th-century triple-decker novel onto a flash drive... Egan goes all in on the power of storytelling and of fiction." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times "A fast-paced polyvoiced romp thru America in the grip of a sinister tech that allows others into your mind.
