Look at Me
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Look at Me (2001) is Jennifer Egan's novel about Charlotte Swenson, a New York fashion model whose face is reconstructed after a car crash, leaving her beautiful but hard for old friends to recognize. As she rebuilds her life in the image-obsessed city, a parallel thread follows a teenage girl in the Midwest who shares her name. The stories probe fame, identity and how people invent themselves for an audience.
