Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad is breathtaking! It's an incredible work of fiction, beautifully and intelligently rendered.It's a series of stories with interconnected characters, told from all different points of view and going back and forth in time. Each chapter brought me really into the characters, because the writing was so detailed and rich and every scene was so real. Each worked wonderfully on its own. But what was amazing was how it came together, how you got a panoramic view of contemporary life, at the same time that there was so much intimacy.
I was deeply moved at many points, and by the end I was simply blown away.
