Bennie is an aging former punk rocker and record executive. Sasha is the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Here Jennifer Egan brilliantly reveals their pasts, along with the inner lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs. With music pulsing on every page, A Visit from the Goon Squad is a startling, exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption.
my comments;
This book has raked in several awards, including the Pulitzer for fiction. It seems like a book of short stories that focus on a person in each story, but towards the end she does pull it all together pretty well. There is an entire chapter that is a power point presentation and I think it lost it's punch for those of us listening and not looking at the book. Time really is a Goon.
