it's been more than a decade between A Visit From the Goon Squad and its sequel, so my memory is a bit vague on the characters that connect them, but this set of interlinked short stories, told in a variety if voices and styles, stands up well on its own.

Yesterday I finished by . It’s an almost dizzying, intricate novel with chapters from different POVs and in different styles. The title refers to the trap that is the candy house in Hansel and Gretel: if it seems like you’re getting something for free that’s too good to be true, you’ll probably have to pay at some point. The price of social media is your privacy.

@mara Hi from another fan 👋. I haven't read The Candy House yet but I read Egan's Manhattan Beach a year ago. Amazing. My top read in the last few years. Enjoy your reading time!
