Tom Shone had a fantastic interview with Jennifer in The Sunday Times yesterday:
‘Egan’s writing is remarkable for its ability to anchor postmodern trickery to more reassuringly solid novelistic virtues … Goon Squad hangs together with the airiness of a mobile, constructed to catch the slightest gusts of longing and lust.’
