Jennifer Egan at 'Writers in Conversation'

I was thrilled to have Jennifer Egan start off her U.K. book tour for Manhattan Beach, her first novel since winning the Pulitzer for A Visit From the Goon Squad, by speaking to my students in "Writers in Conversation," the reading series I run for the English department at the University of Southampton.

She read from both those books and answered questions from me and our students, some from our BA English programme, some from the MA Creative Writing, and a few working on novels for their PhD.

We've captured the event on our Youtube channel -- Enjoy! .
