description A Visit from the Goon Squad Overview

Jennifer Egans 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a brilliant, fragmented exploration of time, memory, and the music industry. Through a series of interconnected stories that jump back and forth across decades, Egan examines how the 'goon' of time changes the lives of her characters. The book is famous for its experimental chapters, including one written entirely in PowerPoint slides. It is a sharp, funny, and deeply moving look at the way we grow, change, and eventually fade, making it a quintessential novel of the digital age.
