Dave Eggers at Boswell Book Company
Postmodern lit poster boy Dave Eggers is an even hotter commodity than usual due to his latest novel, the National Book Award finalist A Hologram For The King. He also put out the nonfiction Zeitoun in 2009, using the story of a Syrian-American immigrant to narrate the deathly days following Hurricane Katrina. Eggers has always been at his best when deconstructing established storytelling forms—in Zeitoun; in such books as his breakthrough, A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius; and as the founder of the popular lit-mag McSweeney’s. Eggers appears today for a brief book signing only.
