Jennifer Egan, One Tweet At A Time

Over the course of its short life, Twitter has been many things to many people… from not-so-personal diary to celebrity sounding board; from advertising platform to political tool for the collective masses.
And now, Twitter can add one more title to its list of uses: Literary device for Pulitzer Prize winners.
Beginning last Thursday night, the New Yorker began publishing Jennifer Egan’s new short story “Black Box,” one tweet at a time. The story will unfold over the course of ten nights between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. eastern time. We are currently exactly halfway through.
In addition to writing “Black Box,” Egan is the author of “The Invisible Circus,” “Look At Me,” and many other books, including “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
