A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
3.0

Recommended as a plane read, which I felt was about the level of attention this book deserved.

Like many other readers, I found the Pulitzer win a head scratcher. Maybe it’s an ambitious book? Egan jumps back and forth in time and hops to a new narrator for each chapter. The overarching narrative is about how time changes us (or doesn’t). It felt grandiose and common at the same time.
