Detailed item info

Synopsis
After a near-fatal car crash, a fashion model named Charlotte Swenson undergoes extensive plastic surgery that completely changes her appearance. As she recovers, she meets a young woman who turns out to be the daughter of an old friend--and who is also named Charlotte. The stories of both women are interwoven, as the older one returns to her old life only to find everything irrevocably changed, and the younger struggles with her attraction to two very different men. LOOK AT ME was nominated for a National Book Award in 2001.

Publisher's Note
Stripped of her image and identity after a devastating car accident and the resulting massive reconstructive surgery, Charlotte Swenson, a jaded model, is faced with a difficult struggle to rebuild her life in a culture obsessed with surface appearance.
Industry reviews
"Egan reminds us too often that her philosophical concern is with appearance: how what is seen defines what is. But any impatience with overwriting and plot manipulations is overwhelmed by the ever-present page-turning energy. A surprisingly satisfying stew of philosophy, social commentary, and storytelling." Kirkus Reviews (08/15/2001) "...Egan's book is a tenuous assembly that manages to compel despite its occasionally confounding construction....LOOK AT ME strains under the weight of Egan's multiple ambitions, and her satire of the fashion world and dot-com mania is facile and only sporadically funny....Even so, substantial portions of this novel are truly moving." New York Times Book Review - Katherine Dieckmann (09/23/2001) "[B]rilliantly unnerving....[O]ne of the better choices on this year's eyebrow-raising list of National Book Award nominees...." New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/22/2001)
