DAVE EGGERS - GEBRAUCHT A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF...

'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' Anthony Quinn  Sunday Times 'Is this
how all orphans would speak - I am at once pitiful and monstrous  I know - if they had Dave
Eggers's prodigious linguistic gifts? For he does write wonderfully  and this is an extremely
impressive debut' John Banville  Irish Times 'A virtuosic piece of writing  a big  daring 
manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented - yes 
staggeringly talented - new writer' - Michiko Kakutani  New York Times 'Exhilarating . . .
Profoundly moving  occasionally angry and often hilarious . . . A Heartbreaking Work of
Staggering Genius is  finally  a finite book of jest  which is why it succeeds so brilliantly'
- New York Times Book Review 'What is really shocking and exciting is the book's sheer rage.
AHWOSG is truly ferocious  like any work of genius. Eggers - self-reliant  transcendent 
expansive - is Emerson's ideal Young American. [The book] does itself justice: it is a settling
of accounts. And it is almost too good to be believed' - London Review of Books 'A hilarious
book . . . In it  literary gamesmanship and self-consciousness are trained on life's most
unendurable experience  used to examine a memory too scorching to stare at  as one views an
eclipse by projecting sunlight onto paper through a pinhole' - Time 'Eggers evokes the terrible
beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan  frothing with furious anger . . . He takes us close 
shows us as much as he can bear . . . His book is a comic and moving witness that transcends
and transgresses formal boundaries' - Washington Post
