Look at Me

Look at Me (2001) by Jennifer Egan. A beautiful model, her career in decline, gets in a car accident during a visit to her childhood home. The damage done to her face is severe enough that people who knew her can no longer recognize her. This book tells the strange and curiously contemporary story of how she sheds her former life and reclaims herself. Grade: B+

You sir are indeed brilliant. Your book and movie reviews are very insightful and demonstrate a talent worth great monetary reward.
If in fact I owned an adequate periodical, you would be my hiree. heehee
