WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BOOKS OF 2010 Jennifer Egan's spellbinding novel circles the lives of Bennie Salazar, an ageing former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the troubled young woman he employs. We first meet Sasha in her mid-thirties, on her therapist's couch in New York City, confronting her longstanding compulsion to steal. We meet Bennie at the melancholy nadir of his adult life - divorced, struggling to connect with his nine-year-old son, listening to a washed-up band in the basement of a suburban house. Although Bennie and Sasha never discover each other's pasts, the reader does, in intimate detail, along with the secret lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs, over many years, in many places. With music pulsing on every page, this is a startling, exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption. Breathtaking work from one of our boldest writers. 'Irresistible. Fiction of the highest quality' Sunday Times 'Egan's precise, calm underwater prose is a persistent pleasure' Daily Telegraph 'Stories that defy narrative convention' Financial Times 'A must-read' Sunday Times

What gods are left in the modern world? Some would tell you they've abandoned us when their shrines were ravaged, trees toppled, and their cults disbanded. Their cries-trapped beneath the concrete and plastic cities-fall deaf upon the ears of human cattle, of your average city-dweller.But the Goon can hear them. Upon the howling winds that assail the high desert and through the redrock hoodoos, he listens their ageless wisdoms. He has, against his better judgment, decided to share bits of these truths in this tome during this volatile epoch. Scrawled it in the blood of both coyote and gila monster, the spirit of the forgotten ancestors have been transcribed and made eternal.Written with barbaric authenticity, Clawson delivers this message of Goonhood with his oath: it is his life. The descendant of pioneers and mountain men, he lays out his experiences with the delivery of a tomahawk-the sharp edge of wit and introspection thrown into 'the big problem' of the 21st century man. He does not preach abstract ideas to strike against his previous masters but experience. Nothing of his work comes from a classroom full of airheaded 'philosophers' and beaked nose nerds.Delve into the pages of this if you dare?your soft flesh may be ripped free and your bones left to bleach in the sunlight otherwise! A Goon makes no apology!
