Synopsis
Bennie Salazar, an aging punk rocker and record executive, and the beautiful Sasha, the troubled young woman he employs, never discover each other's pasts, but the reader does, in intimate detail, along with the secret lives of a host of other people whose paths intersect with theirs in the course of nearly fifty years. A Visit from the Goon Squad is about time, about survival, about our private terrors, and what happens when we fail to rebound.

Reviews
I love novels that are constructed in this way, and I love this one in particular. I'm sad that I already read it because I can't read it for the first time again. I will definitely read it again, though.
