The 2nd person aphoristic future perfect tense (I think) in Chapter 10 Lulu the Spy in "The Candy House" blew my mind. #thecandyhouse #jenniferegan

I think Jennifer Egan was already one of my top 5 (at least) favourite authors of all time, but "The Candy House" is just breathtakingly brilliant. The imagination behind this book is amazing - it's madly inventive, surprising, covering a huge breadth of experiences, but most of all it's enormous fun.
This highlighted sentence relates to the music business, but of course is not limited to it.

Finally getting around to Jennifer Egan's latest, "The Candy House", a sort-of sequel to "A Visit From the Goon Squad", but set in tech rather than music circles, centering around authenticity, memory, and the allure of new technology.
And it's already (unsurprisingly) brilliant, who else comes up with a term like "word casing"! -

Yesterday I finished #TheCandyHouse by #JenniferEgan. It’s an almost dizzying, intricate novel with chapters from different POVs and in different styles. The title refers to the trap that is the candy house in Hansel and Gretel: if it seems like you’re getting something for free that’s too good to be true, you’ll probably have to pay at some point. The price of social media is your privacy.
