Angelawalsh46's #CBR5 Review #4: A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. Jennifer Egan: A Visit from the Goon Squad. Goon I am having a hard time classifying Jennifer Egan's Pulitzer Prize winning book A Visit From the Goon Squad. JenniferEgan 9780307477477 Jennifer Egan is the recipient of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel A Visit from the Goon Squad, which was also awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award. Posted on May 29, 2013 by angelawalsh46. €Time is a goon.” This not-so-popular adage served as the bobbin where Jennifer Egan unspooled threads of human foibles, which she deftly wove into her Pulitzer Prize-winning tapestry, A Visit from the Goon Squad. You've probably heard the old adage, “If you're one step ahead of the crowd, you're a genius. Egan pushes the boundaries of what can reasonably be called a “novel” with this intricately structured and densely-linked set of stories. What if you had the ability to peek into the future? When 23-year-old Doug Smith first tried out for a professional ice hockey team, the East Coast Hockey League's Carolina Thunderbirds, in October 1988, he knew his chances were slim. On the one hand, it reads like a novel with a set cast of characters and carefully intertwined themes.
