Jennifer Egan’s forthcoming book, A Visit from the Goon Squad, includes a PowerPoint layout of a story about the mid-song pauses in some great rock and roll tunes. Of course, this story is also about much more than these second-long pauses: it’s about family, alienation, and the moments in which we recognize the passage of time.
Egan has turned this Powerpoint into an embeddable slideshow, complete with audio. Please enjoy and share.

That was amazing. It was like reading a comic strip without figurative drawings, and with spreadsheet math thrown in for kicks.
