A Visit from the Goon Squad: Pulitzer Prize Winner
📚 Why We Recommend ItTime is a petty thief. It erodes the snarls on old cassettes, turns guitar-smashing punks into men sighing over spreadsheets, yet slips a faded concert stub into your pocket on a rainy night—a key to the hottest, loudest room in your memory.
You’ll see yourself in them—the unspoken apologies, the missed chances, the midnight wonder: What if I’d turned left? But Egan’s magic lies in showing that “ruin” is never the end. It’s the scratch on a cassette that makes the song feel like a secret, the way Bennie playing old tracks for nursing home residents becomes a kind of prayer, or Sasha finally meeting the eyes of the things she’s stolen. Time, that goon, always leaves a crack for redemption.
This isn’t a book about “winning.” It’s a book about living—with all the mess, the regrets, and the quiet, stubborn light folded into the creases.
