A Visit From The Goon Squad
by Jennifer Egan
Certainly well written, probably too well for me at the moment but I kept getting lost. There were different stories going on but I was not engrossed and focused to follow well. Several people who were involved in the music business and a few of their dysfunctional time alone and together. One promising young woman was a kleptomaniac who's family were worried about her and took off to Italy.
Then there was a man once involved with her that went off and had his own life. I could not figure out clearing what on earth was the goon squad. The other man in the book, as a father of someone had hated women, but kept marrying them and loving his daughter and making more kids. He was a music producer I think.
A bunch of these people went on an African Safari together one time and reflected on it for a life time as well as the author reflected on how their lives were going to be in the future while integrating in Africa. Interesting book, again, certainly exceptionally well written.
