A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
by Dave Eggers
€ 13.75
ISBN: 9781035060276
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction
A number one New York Times Bestseller
A stunning memoir chronicling profound grief and comic absurdity.
'Heartbreaking? Certainly. Staggering? Yes, I'd say so. And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too' - The Sunday Times
Dave Eggers' parents died from cancer within a month of each other when he was twenty-one and his brother, Christopher, was seven. They left the Chicago suburb where they had grown up and moved to San Francisco. Hilarious and deeply heartfelt, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the story of their life together.
'Virtuosic' - The New York Times
'Prodigious' - The Irish Times
'Shocking' - The London Review of Books
'Moving' - The Washington Post
