Jennifer Egans book A Visit from the Goon Squad won the 2011 Pultizer prize for fiction.The book is a set of stories about Bennie Salazar,a music executive and one-time-rocker,and the characters connected to him. An interesting aspect to the book is the presence of a chapter (about a girls diary) set in a particular form,which has probably never been used in a mainstream literary novel.Some critics thought of it as a gimmick,while others have lauded the idea.Egan says she was inspired from how the 2008 Obama campaign benefited from one such document to spur a turnaround in their fortunes.What form is this chapter?
