Pulitzer Prize goes to A Visit From the Goon Squad

It’s absolutely nutty to win something like this. I feel weird. I wish I had something more articulate to say. It seems so fantastical, like I’ve exited from real life. I found out 20 minutes ago. I was just sitting down to lunch in a restaurant and my phone rang. I burst into tears and told the waitress I had received a piece of news and that I had to leave. She told me she was sorry and I said “no, it’s good!” I went straight home. It’s unreal.

~ Jennifer Egan (Wall Street Journal)

I loved this book. The humor, the quirky characters, the shifting sense of time and place. Well deserved.
