Jennifer Egan on A Visit from The Goon Squad
Studio 360 | Mar 17, 2011
Jennifer Egan's novel, A Visit from The Goon Squad, follows a group of music industry types — sleazeball executives, aging rock stars, kleptomanical assistants — jumping forward, backward and sideways in time. Innovative (one chapter, narrated by a child, is written entirely as a PowerPoint presentation) and poignant, Egan’s book just won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. (Kurt Andersen's interview with Jennifer Egan first aired September 17, 2010.)
