Jennifer Egan: From Pulitzer to HBO Series

A great week just keeps getting better for Jennifer Egan and her novel A Visit From The Goon Squad. On Monday, Egan won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and yesterday HBO announced it will develop "her sprawling tale into a TV series. Groundswell's Michael London will be executive producer and Jocelyn Hays Simpson will be co-exec producer. Egan will be a consultant. The network hasn't yet set a writer to draft the series pilot, but it will happen quickly.... The deal was in the works before Egan won the Pulitzer, but her reps at ICM just closed with HBO. It's the first big TV project for Groundswell," Deadline.com reported.
