SANTA BARBARA — UCSB Arts & Lectures will present Jennifer Egan in Conversation with Pico Iyer at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6 at Campbell Hall, Isla Vista.

“She is known less for a type of book than her singular intelligence and ambition, which produce works that defy categorization.” Vogue

“A writer of postmodern inclinations with the instincts of an old-fashioned entertainer.” The New Yorker

Jennifer Egan is a novelist, short story writer and journalist whose innovative literary fiction routinely makes the New York Times bestseller list. Her works include the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit From the Goon Squad, Manhattan Beach and her latest, The Candy House. Egan’s rare combination of imaginative daring and comprehensive understanding has made her a favorite of both popular audiences and other authors. Funny, fierce and unafraid of contradiction, Egan brings wit and humor to a wide range of subjects including music, technology, memory and love. Expect fireworks as Pico takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of Egan’s colorful life and fascinating work.
