The Ruth Taylor Recital Hall was packed with students, faculty and members of the San Antonio community yesterday for a lecture by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan.
Egan focused her lecture on the years of research behind Manhattan Beach, her latest novel that came out in 2017. Her research involved digging up photography from New York during World War II and reading love letters from the 1940s.
"I like to start each story with a time and place," Egan said in her lecture. "The characters usually come afterwards."
