More From Jennifer Egan

I love playing all kinds of roles. i hope it doesn’t sound too pretentious, but i always feel human nature is like a piano, and there are 88 keys, and there are some white keys and some black keys, and each character is a different chord on the piano. basically, i hope that in the course of my life, i will have played all 88 keys. so, i’ll have played heroes and villains and princes and kings and warriors and beggars and thieves and lovers and fathers and wizards and all of those things. that is why i’m an actor… i love studying people.
Kings Father Hero
I rewrite a great deal. i'm always fiddling, always changing something. i'll write a few words - then i'll change them. i add. i subtract. i work and fiddle and keep working and fiddling, and i only stop at the deadline.
Writing Add Few Words
It always happened like this: he would look and look for the keys to satan’s hearse and then finally he’d just give up and say, “fine. i’ll take the fugging bus,” and on his way out the door, he’d see the keys. keys show up when you reconcile yourself to the bus; katherines appear when you start to disbelieve the world contains another katherine; and, sure enough, the eureka moment arrived just as he began to accept it would never come.
Giving Up Real Keys
I change my keyboard between every book. i usually shop around. i'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. it's got to have the right springiness. i tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - i want it to feel like i'm typing.
Book Keys Passionate
I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.
Teaching Writing Cities
If you find a girl who reads, keeps her close. when you find her up at 2 am clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea (coffee) and hold her. you may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. she'll talk as if the characters in the book are real because, for a while, they always are. date a girl who reads because you deserve it. you deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable.

I train my chefs completely different to anyone else. my young girls and guys, when they come to the kitchen, the first thing they get is a blindfold. they get blindfolded and they get sat down at the chef's table... unless they can identify what they're tasting, they don't get to cook it.
