She’s a genius. I love listening to her process. A review I read said they didn’t feel the human connection as much in Candy House as they did in Goon Squad, and I had the opposite experience. I loved Squad, but I felt a deeper understanding of the characters in Candy House and was firmly invested in their stories. This book is fantastic. She’s won a Pulitzer and I still think she’s underrated.
I have tried to read this woman’s books. I give then 100 pages and the writing is tedious and the characters are flat and the plots are uninteresting. What is the opposite of a “page turner”. Yet she gets award after award. Turns out Abe Lincoln was wrong…”you can fool all of the people all of the time.”

great talent, one of a kind
22:30 why would they even introduce the attempt to write a story in PowerPoint?
I’ve only read half way thru new book
It' happens in Goon Squad and if I remember correctly...I bawled through the whole chapter.

I got hooked listening to the audio book.
