Jennifer Egan Synopses: Why China? is a 34-page short story by Jennifer Egan. Sam Lafferty has hit rock bottom. Under investigation and on leave from the financial services firm he worked at, Sam has uprooted his wife and two daughters and dragged them against their will to central China. While on this lousy family vacation, in an alien and uncomfortable landscape, after years of deception, lousy investment, moral – and soon – coming financial-bankruptcy, and with his family in tow – Sam pursues the man who had first set him on a path to corruption from crumbling binguan hotels without soap or towels to Buddhist caves near Xi’an.
The Keep is a standalone title by Jennifer Egan. Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.
