As happy as I am to be done with this, it was so fun to make. With about 50?
I'm not really sure. I tried to count but I kept losing my place. characters connected its a little crazy to look at. But I tried to order it best I could, in a way that made sense to me. It's mostly in chapter order with a few tweaks here and there. Notably, the ending Alex chapter is not positioned last, in order to give the most attention to the much more deserving PowerPoint chapter. The relationships of the characters are described along the arrows physically connecting their circles. And in most of the circles are words, phrases, and dialogue from the book, which are somehow significant to who those characters are. As complicated as a map like this, it really is the best way to begin understanding all the characters from
Goon Squad. For music, I chose The Passenger by Iggy Pop, mentioned by Rhea in "Ask Me If I Care." This song, I think, describes both the way many of the characters feel throughout the book, as well as the reader, as the go along for the crazy wonderful ride that is
A Visit from the Goon Squad.
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
