A Visit from the Goon Squad Visiting Television?

Yup.

From a piece in the New York Times...

How exactly the novel, which chronicles more than a dozen characters from the 1970s to the year 2019 or so, will be turned into TV fare is not entirely up to Ms. Egan, who will be a consultant on the project. (Michael London, a producer of films including “Win Win” and “Sideways,” is its executive producer, and Jocelyn Hayes Simpson, a producer of the television version of “This American Life,” is co-executive producer.)

Nor is Ms. Egan fretting too much about how the show’s creative team consolidates the adventures of Lou, the record executive, Jules Jones, the celebrity journalist, and La Doll, the publicist, into a weekly show.

“I don’t envy them the job, I’ll tell you that,” Ms. Egan said on Thursday in a telephone interview. “But then again, that’s partly because I have no idea how to do it.”

Based on preliminary conversations with the producers, Ms. Egan said it was her sense that the series would “try to capture the polyphonic quality” of her novel.

“I would be startled if, for example, a particular character became the main character,” she said. “But I do think when you option rights to your work, you really have to be ready for anything.” She added, “You’re giving someone the right to build their vision on yours, but I do think you have to let them have their vision.”

HBO confirmed the deal but is not yet discussing specifics, since many projects in development do not always end up on a programming schedule.

And, speaking of Jennifer Egan, here's an interview with her no the Days of Yore site.
