Jennifer Egan
Jennifer Egan‘s new novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad, is a time-shifting collection of tales that weaves around the music industry. Egan explains why PowerPoint was the natural choice for a chapter about a 12-year old, and tells Kurt how her 9-year old son helped her develop a deep appreciation for Eminem.
