by Jennifer Egan

A Visit from the Goon Squad
A Visit from the Goon Squad

Time's relentless dance through lives and music.

If you're into novels that leap through time and offer a kaleidoscopic view of characters' lives, "A Visit from the Goon Squad" might just resonate with you. It's lauded for its innovative structure—chapters that can stand as short stories, each contributing to a powerful, overarching narrative about time, music, and the moments that shape us. Jennifer Egan crafts a reading experience that's both intellectually stimulating and emotionally rich.
