In The Candy House, Mindy has become Miranda Kline, a reclusive, brilliant anthropologist who after years living among a remote tribe in Brazil developed algorithms predicting "patterns of affinity," that is, "what made people like and trust one another." The name of the product, Own Your Unconscious, suggests a lofty, even spiritual aspiration, as does the name of Bix’s company, Mandala. We’ve seen how that kind of vision plays out — surely the more we know about one another, the better we’ll understand one another?

But it’s worth the wait for some of the best hot fudge anywhere. And of course, you can bring home lot of shiny wrapped chocolates. Designed with 1920s-inspired Art Deco interiors, the 10,000-square-foot guest house features a kitchen and living area, a gym, a spa and steam room, a car port with space for 15 cars, and walk-in dressing rooms and balconies in the five bedroom suites.
The Irish Times, by Helen Cullen, 4/30/22
To pass once on the ballot, a statewide vote of 50% plus one is required — a simple majority vote. A candy store is one of those whimsical, colorful shops in Los Angeles that we wish were on every street corner. Sure, we've got ice cream, pie and macarons to satisfy our everyday sugar cravings, but sometimes they just don't cut it—sometimes even a stop in a chocolatier won't do.

A group of Republican lawmakers known as the Montana Freedom Caucus sought to punish Zephyr, accusing her of displaying “hateful rhetoric” and calling for the lawmaker's censure in a letter shared on social media. While the house where the five bodies were found is listed as a Yukon address, it is in an area of the metro that receives services from Oklahoma City. Some of those services include the Oklahoma City police and fire departments, as well as utilities. The victims' bodies were found in multiple areas of the house, with police finding two bodies upstairs and two others downstairs. "The OBU family mourns the sudden loss of our fellow Bison, Dylan Candy. While his time on Bison Hill was short, he will be remembered by many, especially his fellow members of the Bison Brigade," OBU said in the post. Knight said police don't know why the youngest child was left unharmed, but that he was released to family members at the scene.

Egan introduces these characters in an astonishing array of narrative styles—from omniscient to first person plural to a duet of voices, an epistolary chapter and a chapter of tweets. Plocher said last session if abortion were to become legal through a constitutional amendment, it was the Senate’s fault, not the House’s, for not passing changes to the initiative petition process. Democrats remain adamant voters will see through the “ballot candy” if the initiative petition legislation makes it to the ballot. On Thursday, the House added language to the bill that would ask Missourians if they want to change the constitution to define legal voters as citizens of the United States as well as whether they want to prohibit foreign entities from sponsoring initiative petitions.
The Manor, an iconic L.A. mansion, seeks $165 million
"Investigators determined that sometime overnight the husband and father in the home, Jonathon Candy, became involved in an altercation with his wife, Lindsay," Knight said. "At some point, he armed himself with a gun, shot her multiple times, killing her. At that point, he systematically went through the home, shooting and killing their children." The limestone-clad mansion expands to multiple terraces, which overlook rolling lawns complete with rose gardens, citrus orchards, statues, fountains and koi ponds.

The shop hand-crafts numerous traditional treats include salt water taffy, candies, and candy apples. Gummies, sours, fudge and more can also be found in the quaint store.

What's bigger than a football field, smaller than Hearst Castle, has a bowling alley and an entire floor of closets, and is making some people very annoyed?
The New York Times Book Review Podcast, with John Williams 4/29/22
As cars drove down Mirage Street on Tuesday to get a glimpse of the house at the end of the cul-de-sac, where the Candys' two family vehicles are still parked, neighbor Michael Burcham, 68, told The Oklahoman that Jonathon Candy was not someone who kept to himself. Investigators found no signs of a struggle, and Knight said at least one of the children was shot in bed. Jack Flemming covers luxury real estate for the Los Angeles Times. A Midwestern boy at heart, he was raised in St. Louis and studied journalism at the University of Missouri. Before joining The Times as an intern in 2017, he wrote for the Columbia Missourian and Politico Europe. Found just down the street from the Playboy Mansion, the estate shares a border with Los Angeles Country Club.
A fourth child, a 10-year-old boy, was in the home but left unharmed. He woke up Monday morning to discover what had happened to his family and made the 911 call himself, Master Sgt. Gary Knight said at a news conference Tuesday. Oklahoma City police believe a father shot his wife and three of his children to death inside their Yukon-area home before turning the gun on himself, in what officials are calling a massacre. The Candy Store combines a clean modern design with old fashioned tastes.
Among its central characters is Bennie Salazar, a flailing record executive, and Sasha, his assistant. The novel is about music, New York’s East Village, magazine journalism, San Francisco in the 1970s, Gen-X nostalgia, the digitalization of everything and the search, in the face of that vitality-sucking digitalization, for forms of authenticity. John Cheever worried about his, which was under 110 — too low to qualify him for the Army’s Officer Candidate School during World War II. Tests and read a book about how to improve his score, but it remained about the same. Mandala's inventions feel especially poignant in Egan's fictional worlds, which are so densely populated by addicts and alcoholics. These are people who don't own their pasts, in either the sense of literally remembering them, or in the sense of feeling any agency in the events of their lives.
In spellbinding interlocking narratives, Egan spins out the consequences of Own Your Unconscious through the lives of multiple characters whose paths intersect over several decades. Intellectually dazzling, The Candy House is also extraordinarily moving, a testament to the tenacity and transcendence of human longing for real connection, love, family, privacy and redemption. In the world of Egan’s spectacular imagination, there are “counters” who track and exploit desires and there are “eluders,” those who understand the price of taking a bite of the Candy House.
