Reviews
"Pitch perfect. . . . Darkly, rippingly funny. . . . Egan possesses a satirist's eye and a romance novelist's heart." - The New York Times Book Review "At once intellectually stimulating and moving. . . . Like a masterful album, this one demands a replay." - The San Francisco Chronicle "A new classic of American fiction." - Time "Audacious, extraordinary." - Philadelphia Inquirer "A spiky, shape-shifting new book. . . . A display of Egan's extreme virtuosity." - The New York Times "Wildly ambitious. . . . A tour de force. . . . Music is both subject and metaphor as Egan explores the mutability of time, destiny, and individual accountability post-technology." - O, The Oprah Magazine "The smartest book you can get your hands on." - Los Angeles Times "A rich and unforgettable novel about decay and endurance, about individuals in a world as it changes around them. . . . [Daum] is one of the most talented writers today." - The New York Review of Books "It ends in the same place it starts, except that everything has changes, including you, the reader." - The New Republic "Clever. Edgy. Groundbreaking. . . . Features characters about whom you come to care deeply as you watch them doing things they shouldn''t, acting gloriously, infuriatingly human." - The Chicago Tribune "Egan's bravura fifth book samples from different eras (the glory days of punk; a slick, socially networked future) and styles (sly satire, moving tragedy, even PowerPoint) to explore the interplay between music and the rough rhythms of life." - Vogue "Told with both affection and intensity, Goon Squad stands as a brilliant, all-absorbing novel for the beach, the woods, the air-conditioned apartment or the city stoop while wearing your iPod. Stay with this one." -Alan Cheuse, NPR's All Things Considered "Brilliant, inventive. . . . Emboldening. It cracks the world open afresh. . . . Would that Marcel Proust could receive [a copy]. It would blow his considerable mind. . . . Expect to inhale Egan's A Visit From the Goon Squad. Then expect it to lodge in your cranium and your breastbone a good long while." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "Frequently dazzling. . . . Egan's expert flaying of human foibles has the compulsive allure of poking at a sore tooth: excruciating but exhilarating too." - Entertainment Weekly "If Egan is our reward for living through the self-conscious gimmicks and ironic claptrap of postmodernism, then it was all worthwhile. . . . [A] triumph of technical bravado and tender sympathy. . . . Turn up the music, skip the college reunion and curl up with The Goon Squad instead." - The Washington Post " A Visit From the Goon Squad should cement [Egan's] reputation as one of America's best, and least predictable, literary novelists." -Taylor Antrim, The Daily Beast "Brilliantly structured. . . . We are pulled right in. . . . [Egan is] a boldly intellectual writer who is not afraid to apply her equally powerful intuitive skills to her ambitious projects." - Elle "This is art at its best-as a bulwark against the goon, as it embodies everything at once." - Austin American Statesman "An exhilarating, big-hearted, three-headed beast of a story. . . . We see ourselves in all of Egan's characters because their stories of heartbreak and redemption seem so real they could be our own, regardless of the soundtrack. Such is the stuff great novels are made of." - Marie-Claire "For all its postmodern flourishes, Goon Squad is as traditional as a Dickens novel. . . . [Egan's] aim is not so much to explode traditional storytelling as to explore how it responds to the pressures and opportunities of the digital age." - Newsweek "Egan has accomplished the tricky feat of using metafiction techniques without sacrificing old-fashioned story-telling. . . . A Visit from the Goon Squad has a circuitous structure that seems almost designed for our Internet rewired brains." - The Wall Street Journal, "Pitch perfect. . . . Darkly, rippingly funny. . . . Egan possesses a satirist's eye and a romance novelist's heart." - The New York Times Book Review "At once intellectually stimulating and moving. . . . Like a masterful album, this one demands a replay." - The San Francisco Chronicle "A new classic of American fiction." - Time "Audacious, extraordinary." - Philadelphia Inquirer "A spiky, shape-shifting new book. . . .

A Visit from the Goon Squad has a circuitous structure that seems almost designed for our Internet rewired brains." - The Wall Street Journal, "Pitch perfect. . . . Is there anything Egan can't do in this mash-up of forms? Write successfully in the second person? Check. Parody celebrity journalism and David Foster Wallace at the same time? Check. Make a moving narrative out of a PowerPoint presentation? Check. . . . Although shredded with loss,A Visit From the Goon Squadis often darkly, rippingly funny. Egan possesses a satirist's eye and a romance novelist's heart. . . . No one is beyond the pale of her affection; no one is spared lampooning. . . . For a book so relentlessly savvy about the digital age and its effect on how we experience time (speeded up, herky-jerky, instantaneous, but also full of unbearable gaps and pauses),A Visit From the Goon Squadis remarkably old-fashioned in its obsession with time's effects on characters, that preoccupation of those doorstop 19th-century novels." -Will Blythe,The New York Times Book Review(cover review) "If Jennifer Egan is our reward for living through the self-conscious gimmicks and ironic claptrap of postmodernism, then it was all worthwhile. . . . A deeply humane story about growing up and growing old in a culture corroded by technology and marketing. . . . [A] triumph of technical bravado and tender sympathy. . . . Here, in ways that surprise and delight again, she transcends slick boomer nostalgia and offers a testament to the redemptive power of raw emotion in an age of synthetic sound and glossy avatars. Turn up the music, skip the college reunion and curl up withThe Goon Squadinstead." -Ron Charles,The Washington Post "It may be the smartest book you can get your hands on this summer." -Carolyn Kellogg,The Los Angeles Times "[A] spiky, shape-shifting new book. . . . A display of Ms. Egan's extreme virtuosity." -Janet Maslin,The New York Times "Jennifer Egan is a rare bird: an experimental writer with a deep commitment to character, whose fiction is at once intellectually stimulating and moving. . . . It's a tricky book, but in the best way. When I got to the end, I wanted to start from the top again immediately, both to revisit the characters and to understand better how the pieces fit together. Like a masterful album, this one demands a replay." -Malena Watrous,The San Francisco Chronicle "For all its postmodern flourishes,Goon Squadis as traditional as a Dickens novel. . . . Her aim is not so much to explode traditional storytelling as to explore how it responds to the pressures and opportunities of the digital age. Egan herself does not appear to be on Facebook, butA Visit From the Goon Squadwill likely make her many new friends." -Jennie Yabroff,Newsweek "Jennifer Egan'sA Visit from the Goon Squadis a singular work of fiction in both senses of the word. It's as if the author has taken an epic novel covering five decades and expertly filleted it, casting aside excess characters and years to come away with a narrative that is wide-ranging but remarkably focused. . . . Vibrant and winning. . . . While this is occasionally a wistful book, it isn't' sad. Each narrative disorientation and subsequent reorientation reminds us of how we weave in and out of one another's lives, staying connected through memory-our shield against the goon squad. By the time we get to the last page of Egan's book . . . we're left wanting more." -Marty Pols,Time "Clever. Edgy. Groundbreaking. . . . For all of its cool, languid, arched-eyebrow sophistication-that's the part that will make you think 'Didion'-and for all of the glitteringly gorgeous sentences that flit through its pages like exotic fish-t
