Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Writing Process. Egan always writes the first drafts of her work longhand on a legal pad. Often, she will write the second draft the same way. She saves a version of each and every draft she writes.
Strange Connections. As an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania, Jennifer Egan dated Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc. Egan met Jobs at a dinner party in Silicon Valley, and a bicoastal relationship ensued. One time, during their relationship, Jobs showed up at Egan’s door with a brand new Macintosh computer and installed it for her.
