Eugenie Montague explores memory in the digital age with her debut novel “Swallow the Ghost.” The Associated Press' Andrew DeMillo writes that the novel is imaginative but also frustrating in its approach. The book tells the story of Jane Murphy, who works at a social media startup on an Internet novel that's gained a viral following.

The second focuses on Jesse, a former journalist working as an investigator for a law firm. The third focuses on Jeremy, the pretentious, Kafka-quoting novelist and sometimes boyfriend of Jane’s.
