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:
"...almost as good as her astounding novel A Visit from the Goon Squad, which is going some."--Julie Burchill, Observer Books of the Year."

"Lustrous. . . .These stories sparkle with Egan's fresh imagery and precise renderings of mood and place. . . . A writer of tremendous intelligence and grace." --"The Philadelphia Inquirer"

"Boldly modulated tales of displacement and blazing moments of truth. . . . Riveting, vaguely Hitchcockian. . . . Piercingly tender. . . . Outstanding." --"The New York Times Book Review"

"Immensely appealing. . . . Told with dazzling insight and emotional daring." --"Elle"

"[Egan] deftly depicts the ways in which women can create glamorously detailed personas for another based on passing observations." --Time
Book Description:
From the bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prizewinning A Visit From the Goon Squad.
