Description

The narrator of Information Age is a journalist at an online news site reporting on technology, the economy, and politics in the late 2010s. The rate of increasingly short news cycles shapes her working life and her personal life, as she assumes the role of reporter while talking with engineers, analysts, wonks, artists, writers, musicians, friends, family, and lovers. Told in vignettes and dialogue—overheard and divulged—Information Age is spare, funny, and attentive, a playful blurring of public and private life.

CORA LEWIS is a writer and reporter whose fiction has appeared at The Yale Review, Joyland Magazine, Epiphany, and elsewhere. She currently works at the Associated Press in New York, and she previously worked at BuzzFeed News. She lives in Brooklyn near Sunset Park.

Advance Praise

"In Information Age, Cora Lewis captures the splendor and misery of being in your twenties in sly style… Lewis's gift for listening, her wryness, means that every page sparks with truth." —Joanna Biggs, author of A Life of One's Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again and editor for The Yale Review

"Welcome to the zeitgeist viewed from the Manhattan news desk of a shrewdly inquisitive young journalist…Cora Lewis's delectable and harrowing and often very funny debut novella, she affords the reader the unparalleled joys and horrors of recognition, all while applying the flashing precision of a surgical tool to the material of our daily lives." —Kathryn Davis, author of The Thin Place and Duplex

"Compulsively, delectably readable—funny, sexy, sharp, charming, sly… I gobbled it up in one sitting." —Danielle Dutton, author of Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other and co-founder of Dorothy, a publishing project

"Lewis holds up pairs of objects in a mirror, and it's our pleasure to watch as their proportions warp. A modern, delicate exercise in juxtaposition." —Lillian Fishman, author of Acts of Service

“Incandescent—iridescent—radiating on a fiercely beating frequency of heart and truth. When historians from distant stars crack the pale blue dome of Biosphere One—our silent Earth—expect to find my ghost waving Information Age at them, saying, 'This—this is what it was like.'" —Greg Jackson, author of The Dimensions of a Cave and Prodigals
