A Visit From The Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan. Kleptomania, rock and roll, and the madness of modern American childrearing all bubble up into Jennifer Egan’s edgy, street-smart series of stories depicting Generation X as it enters middle-age.
Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
“If Jennifer Egan is our reward for living through the self-conscious gimmicks and ironic claptrap of postmodernism, then it was all worthwhile.” –The Washington Post
