A Visit from the Goon Squad

by Jennifer Egan
RM44.25 MYR
A Visit from the Goon Squad
A Visit from the Goon Squad

Time threads music, self-destruction, and redemptive connections.

Imagine a novel structured like a concept album, with each chapter a track diving into different lives, different moments in time, yet all interlinked by the rhythm of music and the beat of human vulnerabilities. "A Visit from the Goon Squad" is a literary ensemble that dances through the themes of aging, change, and the ever-pressing passage of time—an experience both disconcerting and dazzling. If you enjoy innovation in storytelling, this book is like a masterful DJ set that samples genres, eras, and styles into one compelling narrative.
