Jennifer Egan
In books like “The Invisible Circus,” “Look at Me” and “Manhattan Beach,” Jennifer Egan writes with nuance on an astounding range of subjects and disciplines. That intellectual breadth also shows up in her journalism, featured in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Harper’s and elsewhere. Her most recent novel “The Candy House” is a sort of sibling to the Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Visit From the Goon Squad” — and yet another example of Egan’s agility as a writer. From first person plural, to third person, to a chapter written in tweets, Egan once again demonstrates why she is one of the most acclaimed fiction writers in recent years.

Ramadan a Time to Fast; But Also a Time to Celebrate Food
During Ramadan, observant Muslims who are able to fast from sunrise to sunset, eating and drinking nothing. It is not a surprise then that food takes on a special, and often celebratory, meaning during this month-long spiritual reset. And in the Bay Area, the food prepared during Ramadan, whether it’s suhoor, the pre-sunrise meal before the fast begins or iftar, the meal eaten to break the fast, reflects the diversity of the Muslim diaspora itself. On the next “All You Can Eat,” our series on Bay Area food cultures, we’ll talk with restaurateurs about how they mark this time, how they breakfast and what it’s like to keep your restaurant open until the early morning hours for a meal that goes from dusk to dawn. What is your Ramadan tradition and how does the holiday change your relationship with food?

Out in the Bay Queer Radio: A Transgender Experience in Talk and Song
Hear about transgender issues from musician Nick Lawrence, a family coach and former foster-parent educator on LGBTQ topics. His latest album “I Am a Man” is about his own transition. In original songs and in this talk with Out in the Bay Queer Radio host Eric Jansen, Lawrence dives into emotional and physical details, demystifying the transition process with passion, grace and humor. He includes tips for people considering transition and for parents who may be wondering about their kids. Lawrence calls himself a changeling: “I was a daughter and a son, a mother and a father, a brother and a sister, a grandma and grandpa. I was a heterosexual woman, a bi woman, a lesbian, a straight guy, a bi guy and a gay guy. I’ve hit all the stops,” he says with a laugh. “Each one has its own realm of blessing and joy.” (Note: the discussion is frank and includes some graphic medical details.)
