A Visit from the Goon Squad is a mash-up of interlinked stories with Bennie Salazar, aging rock producer; Sasha, his kleptomaniac assistant; and the people intersecting their lives. Egan received the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for this work. She was interviewed on Morning Edition - NPR in 2010.
The book is divided into Part A and Part B. We will discuss the stories of Part A through October 15. Discussion of Part B will begin on October 16 (or thereabouts). Get ready to tell everyone what you think of Bennie, Sasha, Scotty, Alice, Jocelyn and Rhea. How much do their lives from the late 70's to the late 90's resemble yours?
