PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE WINNER - With music pulsing on every page, this startling, exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption "features characters about whom you come to care deeply as you watch them doing things they shouldn't, acting gloriously, infuriatingly human" (The Chicago Tribune).

One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century - One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years - A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century - A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years

Bennie is an aging former punk rocker and record executive. Sasha is the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Here Jennifer Egan brilliantly reveals their pasts, along with the inner lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs.

"Pitch perfect . . . Darkly, rippingly funny . . . Egan possesses a satirist's eye and a romance novelist's heart."--The New York Times Book Review

A fascinating novel where every chapter follows a new character referenced in a previous chapter to remind us how truly interconnected we all are. The story revolves around Bennie Salazar, an aging record executive and former punk rocker but does not focus on one single character, and can be easily read as a linked story collection. Exploring the beautiful, painful ways music and memory intersect, this book will leave you in the magic state of nostalgia.
