A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan- best book I've read so far in 2011

I love the way the characters' lives intersect and intertwine without ever really connecting. The writing style translates detailed, direct experience into clear prose. Though there is no through narrative, the constant reappearance of characters we met before in new contexts keeps things interesting.
