A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

You don't have to be a once-been-has-been punk rocker to read this or like this or be scared shitless by this because no matter who you are youth is a funny, fleeting thing. You will never feel young enough in the moment. A decade passes and you miss that youth and get all nostalgic. And STILL you fail to recognize your current youth until another decade passes and you do the same damn thing.

One day you're snorting coke lines off a young girl's rear end.
One day you're lying in a bed using a bedpan.

See?

Liked it but didn't love it but was practically forced to think and to admire the writing.
That is until the end, where I think it took a nosedive. Like that moment when you leap off the stage to crowd surf, but you're the only one participating.
