Extractions: American culture has been in a holding pattern of sorts since September 11: we are still waiting to see how the terrorist attacks of that morning might change our sensibilities over the long term. Although it's too soon to predict what effect we might see on the work of designers and other creative people, we at Metropolis found ourselves reconsidering visual culture in this new context. To continue that conversation, we called on Dave Eggers. As the author of the autobiographical novel A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius , Eggers grappled with life-changing tragedy and the artand even humorthat sometimes results from it. As the designer and editor of the literary journal McSweeney's , he inspired an antidigital movement during the middle of the digital age: his seemingly antiquated aesthetic has influenced designers everywhere from Random House to IBM. Who better to comment on the direction of design, visual culture, and humor in these uncertain times? Metropolis senior editor Karen E. Steen e-mailed Eggers some September 11themed questions, and he was good enough to answer them despite their admittedly unanswerable nature.

Extractions: Dave (David) Eggers gründete 1993 zusammen mit Freunden sein erstes Magazin. Er arbeitete als Kartoonist, Grafikdesigner und zorniger Journalist - alles freiberuflich natürlich Heute gibt Eggers das Magazin "McSweeney´s", eine nette Sache, heraus, und unterstützt weitere schlecht beratene McSweeney´s Unternehmungen wie das Verlegen von Büchern, das Führen eines eigenen Ladens und die Gestaltung einer Website. Ein herzzerreißendes Werk von umwerfender Genialität ist sein erstes Buch. Ob er nun in Brooklyn oder Kalifornien lebt, dazu gibt es unterschiedliche Meinungen. Sicher ist, dass er mit seinem Bruder zusammenwohnt und sie keine Haustiere haben.

Extractions: February 22, 2000. Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern is the new new thing in the world of letters. It's a quirky publication: a 19th century-style literary journal aimed at Gen'xers, Monty Python fans, and readers of marginalia. It's also a refreshing resurrection of an old old thing: a rag that relies on good writing, long form prose, experimental fiction, illustration and humor. McSweeney's is the other brain child of Dave Eggers , a 29 year old writer who's already created one critically acclaimed but financially bankrupt publication called MIGHT McSweeney's may fair no better than MIGHT , but Eggers' oddball venue is attracting some of the best young writers today, without paying them a dime. The McSweeney manifesto believes in indulgence, eschews the recent work of Saul Bellow, and relies on the strength of numbers, provided those numbers are very, very small. He's also recently published his first book - his life story which he had the brass to call "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." It's a postmodern examination of everything: life, death, big brotherhood, parenting, and the state of American literature.

Extractions: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Review Summary This is a memoir, or rather, it is the anti-memoir. I am sick of all the Angela's Ashes, ad nauseam, and didn't think i'd want to read this. This is the funniest book of 2000, and a brilliant story of a life- or ten years of a life. Anyone in the teen- thirtyish age group should love this book. This book is unlike any memoir I've read. Eggers's story is quite compellinglosing both parents within a month or so of each other, and then Eggers, at about age 20, taking custody of his eight-year-old brother and raising him. This is a remarkable story, and Eggers tells it without whining or complaining; in fact, this is a funny book in many places.
