About A Visit from the Goon Squad
A Visit from the Goon Squad follows several characters whose stories are connected and interwoven in various ways, and stretches from the punk era of the 1980s to a futuristic society dominated by technology. With its constantly shifting chronology and unusual form (one chapter is written as a PowerPoint presentation), the novel brilliantly explores the themes of change and stasis, music, and human connection. It won the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and cemented Egan’s reputation as one of the most exciting American writers working today.
