In rereading the book, Ivan Kreilkamp takes Egan up on her comparison, showing how it blends a concern with the status of the novel in the twenty-first century with an elegiac meditation on how we experience the passage of time. Kreilkamp, a former music critic, examines how Egan's characters turn to rock and especially punk in search of community and meaning. He considers what the novel's portrayal of music says about the role of art in contemporary culture as digitization makes older technologies obsolete. Combining personal and critical reflection, he reveals how A Visit from the Goon Squad articulates and responds to the sense of loss many feel as cherished physical objects are replaced with immaterial data. For Kreilkamp, Egan's novel compellingly combines the psychological realism of the nineteenth-century novel with more recent and transient forms such as the celebrity magazine profile or a PowerPoint presentation to provide a self-reflective diagnosis of the decay and endurance of literature. Arranged like Egan's novel into A and B sides, this book highlights not only how A Visit from the Goon Squad speaks to our mass-media and digital present but also its page-turning pleasure"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Egan, Jennifer. $t Visit from the goon squad. 650 0 $a Rock music in literature. 650 0 $a Mass media and literature. 650 0 $a Time perception in literature. 650 0 $a Memory in literature. 650 7 $a Mass media and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011353 650 7 $a Memory in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01787079 650 7 $a Rock music in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02000547 650 7 $a Time perception in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151164 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kreilkamp, Ivan. $t A visit from the goon squad reread $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2021] $z 9780231547017 $w (DLC) 2020034844 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220301010904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E9D52DE992D11EC82317EFE47ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
