In "Goon: A Memoir," we are taken on a journey through the life of a man who spent over six decades working as a goon for hire, most of that time serving costumed supervillains all across the United States. Through the eyes of this goon, we witness the inner workings of the criminal underworld and the shadowy figureheads who run it. From the seedy alleys of the most crime-ridden cities to the high-tech lairs of some of the most dangerous villains in history, our narrator has seen it all.
As he tells his story, we come to understand the motivations that led him down this path, the moments of humanity he witnessed in the most unlikely places, and the toll that a lifetime of violence and criminal activity takes on the soul. We also see the complexity of living a dual life as masked muscle-for-hire and family man.
But as our narrator reaches the end of his life, he must confront the consequences of his choices and ask himself whether it was all worth it. With brutal honesty and unflinching detail, "Goon: A Memoir" takes us on a journey through a life lived in the shadows, showing us the human cost of a career spent as a hired muscle in a world that celebrates everything he is not.
