The exception by christian jungersen5/31/2023 ![]() The interest turns on the way such people treat the diseased, and how neuroscience transforms, or corrodes, sociability.įormally, The Exception and You Disappear share an odd feature: non-fiction ‘articles’ (written by Jungersen) are dropped into the story at crucial moments. But rather than narrate the novel from the perspective of someone affected by a neurological abnormality, in the manner of, say, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Jungersen makes a ‘normal’ person the narrative centre. (His first novel, Krat, or ‘Thicket’, remains untranslated.) You Disappear is about the contemporary obsession with the supposed capacity of neuroscience to explain every aspect of our emotional and intellectual lives. ![]() His third and most recent novel, You Disappear, came out in Denmark in 2010. Jungersen’s novel was set in the made-up Danish Centre for Information on Genocide (DCIG), where the relations between the office workers appear to mirror the everyday blindnesses and cruelties that supposedly led to the mass slaughters of the 20th century. ![]() His second novel, T he Exception, came out in Denmark in 2004, when liberal debates about the justness of humanitarian intervention were at their height. ![]() T he Danish novelist Christian Jungersen writes topical novels with untopical frames, which appear to be of the moment though they look at the news askance. ![]() Underwater dog photography5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Each image bubbles with exuberance and life, a striking reminder that even in the most loveable and domesticated dog, there are more primal forces at work.

Manhattan Beach is franker than Goon Squad but just as wise Principally, Manhattan Beach regards Anna, who as a child during the Depression reveres her father, Eddie, and is only half aware that he is making money by working as a courier for different criminal gangs. It's nearly shocking, even daring: after exhibiting the marvelous and exciting things she can do with structure, she sat down to write a candid conventional novel. It's a historical best-seller, one that skips through time a bit but in an entirely accessible way. Egan's new fiction, Manhattan Beach, is not showy or experimental. One of the sections is a PowerPoint presentation. From the kleptomaniac to his mentor to her boss to his lover to her boyfriend to his bandmate who is also the boss in chapter two to his wife, and on and on and on. All at a different and non-sequential point in a 40-year span of time, each one leading to the next in an implacable result. Her writing A Visit From the Goon Squad consisted of 13 chapters, Each from a different point of view. Manhattan Beach Novel By Jennifer Egan Jennifer Egan conquered the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2011 it was a flamboyant novel with an innovative structure. ![]() |
