Jennifer Egan – A Visit from the Goon Squad (2010). Book club read. Halfway between a novel and a set of loosely connected short stories. Engrossing in places, but without any overarching narrative, it’s disjointed and unsatisfying. One chapter is rendered as a PowerPoint presentation. #JenniferEgan
