5/20/2023 0 Comments Egan a visit from the goon squadAfterward, Sasha and Alex return to her apartment and have sex. After a brief confrontation with the woman Sasha stole from, Sasha returns the wallet and admits she has a problem. She recounts a date she went on with a man named Alex, during which she steals a wallet in the restaurant’s bathroom. In the novel’s first story, “Found Objects,” Sasha meets with her therapist, Coz, with whom she is working to overcome an addiction to stealing. Several characters appear in more than one story, and through the ways in which they appear at different points in time, their narratives become clear. The novel is also split into two parts-A and B-which echoes the two sides of an album. Instead, they leap through time, showing slices of different time periods occurring between the late 1970s and the 2020s. The stories, as they appear in the novel, do not follow a traditional chronology. Each chapter stands as a self-contained story, but as a whole, the individual episodes create connections that form a cohesive narrative. A Visit from the Goon Squad is unconventional in the way its narrative unfolds.
