45. The Dave Eggers Show - BCM - Spring 2002 Ten minutes late, and to frantic ap plause, author dave eggers lopes into the room, taller than you d think from the jacket photo on his wildly popular book http://www.bc.edu/publications/bcm/spring_2002/lindenlane.html

It's Valentine's Day night, that bastion of Hallmark sweethearts and suburban roses, and Gasson 100 is crammed with the young. Their abs are visible and flat, their nose rings shine, they wear hip orange knit caps with pompoms utterly ridiculous on anybody over 25, and they travel in packsnone of this paired-off stuff. Ten minutes late, and to frantic ap- plause, author Dave Eggers lopes into the room, taller than you'd think from the jacket photo on his wildly popular book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (2000), and definitely buff, in jeans and a brown sweater over a drooping brown T-shirt, wearing scuffed brown oxfords spattered with white paint, a subtle shadow on his jaw. Boyish and shy, he hangs his curly-mopped head, then drinks from a bottle of water. Can he bethis celebrity of almost two yearsself-conscious? Not in that postmodern self-conscious way (where you're conscious of being self-conscious and what other way is there to be?) but the way one of us would feel if we wrote a book about the time of our deepest anguish and then had to face our readers? "It's unusually cold, isn't it?" he asks the crowd. "I didn't bring a coat." Pause. "Anyone have a coat?" A Dickens orphan with a gamin's charm, Dave Eggers knows how to work a room.

Related Guides A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Vintage Books You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Vintage Books Dave Eggers's first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius , turned the conventions of the memoir inside-out. It questioned, parodied, stretched, and subverted the rules for writing about one's life in a book that ultimately lived up to its tongue-in-cheek title. The deaths by cancer of Eggers's parents, within a few weeks of each other, his efforts to raise his younger brother, Toph, coupled with Eggers's self-conscious genre-bending, made the book both deeply emotional and brilliantly innovative. In You Shall Know Our Velocity! , his first novel, Eggers tells another story of loss and its aftermath. After their childhood friend Jack is killed in a highway accident, Will and Hand decide to fly around the world, giving away the windfall money Will has recently received. And while their travels take them from Chicago to Dakar, Morocco, Estonia, and Latvia, the real journey is an interior one, into Will's tormented consciousness. He can give away his money—and the occasions for doing so range from the hilarious to the awkward to the poignant—but the voices in his mind are another matter. However much he wants to "throw his head to the world," it remains firmly on his shoulders, filled with memories of childhood and of Jack, and with an overwhelming desire for vengeance—on the yahoos who beat him up and on the trucker who killed his friend.

Yes, other Eggers-related issues were to be covered this week (such as the .com/.net/.org saga) but those things have all been pushed aside since the EFLSR arrived in my inbox almost a week ago.

Also, many may enjoy the declaration in print that not only is Eggers 'over' but even his own backlash is "five minutes ago." One must wonder: Is he doomed to be nothing more than a short-lived relic of pop culture commentary? [8.a]

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers 375 pages, 2000 ISBN: 0684863472 Buy it online Appealingly Self Indulgent Reviewed by Janice A. Farringer Self indulgent, whiney, age appropriate: these are the words that spring to mind after reading Dave Eggers' new autobiographical book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius . But the book is very appealing anyway. Dave Eggers, a founder of Might magazine in San Francisco, had previous seconds of fame by reporting a minor celebrity's death, deliberately falsely, claiming it was satire. "Why should some dramedy star moron loser be mourned by millions, when other people are not?" Might magazine, and this sort of story, apparently appealed to the young, new media crowd. The magazine did not survive. Dave moved on to an editing job in New York with Esquire. In Heartbreaking, young Dave, the Tragic Guy (his description), records his journey from college student, son of parents who both succumb to cancer within a month of each other, to guardian by default of his 7-year-old brother, Toph.

I have mixed feelings about Dave Eggers. I stay up at night thinking about it. Well, I stayed up one night thinking about it. It's what happens, I suppose, when you have to write a review of someone whom you've previously admired but have sort of had this falling out with. Not literally, mind you. I've never met Dave Eggers. Haven't even gone to one of the infamous readings/signings he did for his first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius . (You know, the ones where he planted his buddies, etc. in the audience to heckle him or engage in otherwise inappropriate book reading/signing behavior.) Dave Eggers, to put it simply, is just too cool for me. He's hip and he's young and he's talented and he makes both envy-inducing (on the level of genius, yes) decisions and bone-headed, sophomoric, hey-look-at-me-Ma-No-Hands decisions that make me want to reach through the page or computer screen and strangle the guy.

At least, that's what their new website says: Construction on the new space at 372 Fifth Avenue began in February and is well under way. The store front is expected to open in late April and the tutoring center should be up and running some time in August. Now, given that 826 is named after its address in San Francisco, is there some reason they're calling it the same name here? Particularly given that their Brooklyn address is 372 Fifth Avenue? Surely they know that the sort of do-gooders who do actual volunteer work aren't that smart: there are sure to be a lot of underpublished novelists wandering lost in the Park Slope Heather-has-two-mommies parade this fall. 826 News [826 NYC] related entries: Dave Eggers who?

Believer. May 2004 April 2004 March 2004 The Believer is an amiable yet rigorous forum for writing about books. It seeks to extend the ever-shortening shelf life of new books (and revives interest in books long overlooked), and stresses the interconnectivity of books to pop culture, politics, art, and music. To that end, the focus of the magazine includes essays on these topics, as well as lengthy interviews with philosophers, upholsterers, geneticists, and Martin Short.
