Reviews

One of our fiercest and most compelling writers
*Sunday Times*

Eggers can write about pretty much anything and make it glitter and somersault on the page . . . dazzling and highly original
*The New York Times*

Possibly the most admired and emulated American author of his generation
*Independent*

A jazz session - a brief, single helping of strangeness that flaunts his panache for stylistic experimentation. . . The writing is compelling and the characterization astute
*Booklist*

Inherently interesting. I can think of few contemporary American writers who convey such a sense of urgency about the mess we're in. Eggers pulls no punches
*Milwaukee Journal Sentinel*

A one-sitting read . . . insightful
*USA Today*

One of the country's leading literary eminences
*Washington Post*

Eggers writes so well you would read a computer manual if it was by him, but beneath his beguiling style is a base note of genuine concern about those who find themselves out of kilter with society.
*HERALD*

His latest novella, Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? stretches his toying with literary forms to new lengths...compelling
*EVENING STANDARD*

But with each tightly controlled book, Eggers' fiction becomes more prescient, moving and unsettling... Even if all generations are lost generations, we need engaged, incendiary novels which ask: What now?
*INDEPENDENT*
