About the Book

These eleven masterful stories--the first collection from acclaimed author Jennifer Egan--deal with loneliness and longing, regret and desire. Egan's characters--models and housewives, bankers and schoolgirls--are united by their search for something outside their own realm of experience. They set out from locations as exotic as China and Bora Bora, as cosmopolitan as downtown Manhattan, or as familiar as suburban Illinois to seek their own transformations. Elegant and poignant, the stories in Emerald City are seamless evocations of self-discovery.

Review :
"Charlie Thurston, Madeleine Lambert, and Richard Waterhouse perform with intensity, elevating each story's uniqueness." -- "AudioFile" "Each of these stories (and there's not a clinker in the bunch) comes fully loaded with believable characters, a story arc, a resolution--all the satisfying elements that seem so elusive in modern fiction." -- "Booklist" "Narrators Charlie Thurston and Richard Waterhouse both read with muted intensity, imbuing their respective performances with drama and tension. Fans of Egan--and the short story--will be delighted." -- "Publishers Weekly"
