Staggering genius

A remarkable and fascinating interview with and about Dave Eggers, From ‘staggering genius’ to America’s conscience.

The article features Zeitoun, Eggers nonfiction book about the aftermath of Katrina for one family. If you have read Zeitoun, I think you will particularly enjoy this essay.

If you haven’t read Zeitoun, put down what you are doing, get a copy, and read it now.

Eggers is equally or more famous for A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It too is an absolute must.

What Is the What is Eggers’ other gem.

But you may begin with the article From ‘staggering genius’ to America’s conscience.

One thought on “Staggering genius”

  1. I haven’t read Zeitoun, but I heard a long piece about it on NPR. That was more than enough. I don’t think it’s possible for me to read that book without succumbing to a great wave of formless anger with nothing to focus it on. I truly believe it would literally make me insane.
