Bizarre...in that I just read a Jennifer Egan short story in Best American Short Stories 2011 that is part of her novel "Visit from the Goon Squad"

The short story from the story collection is not an excerpt from the novel; rather, the novel (of the same name) is a re-visioning and expansion of previous thematic content originating from the short story.
