Pause

Amazing book! Or, good book with amazing moments! Just finished the chapter on "Great Rock and Roll Pauses" from the latest Jennifer Egan book and I can understand why they gave her the Pulitzer. I wonder where she started the book, whether the kernel of it was the Sasha character and this thing with her daughter's Power Point graphics - whether Egan wrote it at the start or at least somewhere in the book's infancy. Because it is brilliant. Not much in literature connects up to our actual lives so directly and (I'm wincing a little as I write the next word) profoundly like this. Wow. Makes it intimidating to try to write. But I am trying. Going to class later today.
