Special Speaker: Jennifer Egan: Making Fiction Out of Instincts, Hunches, and Glaring Mistakes   

Please join Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, in partnership with the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College’s Starry Nights and their 25th anniversary celebrations, for a fascinating conversation with one of the US’s most distinguished authors, Jennifer Egan. Egan, a Pulitzer Prize winner, will discuss her career and writing process.

Her novel Manhattan Beach won the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and The Candy House was named one of the New York Times's 10 Best Books of 2022 and a favorite of President Obama. Egan has received Guggenheim, NEA, and NYPL fellowships and frequently writes for the New York Times Magazine. The hour-long event will be followed by a book signing. Stay tuned for part two of this series in spring 2025.
