Long Answer
1. Egan uses different forms, such as a magazine article and a slide presentation, throughout the novel to push readers to think differently about how stories are told. Students could write about any of these instances or about the ways in which the entire novel moves around in time to destabilize notions of linear time. For the chapter with the slide presentation, not only does it condense the story of a character we already know (Rob and his death), but it also focuses on time through Lincoln’s fascination with pauses in songs. Additionally, the novel finally reaches a degree of conclusion for Sasha. In the satirical magazine article, Egan challenges readers to think about authorship and the media.
