var sc_project=231319; var sc_invisible=1; IS DAVE EGGERS TRYING TO BREAK OUR HEARTS? SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS ABOUT THE BALLOONIST. By Steve Delahoyde Dave Eggers is returning to the world of magazines with a secretive new title known only as "The Balloonist." If you weren't paying close attention last week, you might have missed it in the pages of the New York Observer's by-the-numbers on Jack White of the The White Stripes. The proverbial beans about The Balloonist were spilled when the Observer asked White about his upcoming interview for the magazine. Although the passage itself was very short and revealed nothing about this new endeavor, underground literary circles were abuzz at the idea that Eggers would return to his roots. After all, Eggers founded the now-defunct satirical magazine called Might and spent time working as an editor at Esquire . And of course, there's his best-selling autobiographical book "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," his self-published novel "You Shall Know Our Velocity" and McSweeney's , which started it all.

We pay orthodontists an average of $350,000, and no one would say that their impact on the lives of kids is greater than a teacher's. But it seems difficult for everyone, from parents to politicians, to shake free of a tradition in which teaching was seen as something of a volunteer project for women whose husbands brought home the real money. Today's teachers need to, but very often can't, support a family on their salaries. They find it difficult or impossible to buy homes, to save money, to live comfortably, and, in wealthier areas, to live in or near the towns where they teach. Erik Benner, 32

Does he understand the fact that great players often fall apart once they wear pinstripes? Does he understand that being a Yankee is all about having Heart?! Doesn't he understand that this is why so many guys fail in NY?! Furthermore, it's so easy to bash the Yanks (at Harvard no less) it's alost a cliche and I find it infuriating. If he's going to bash something - how about the tired literary establishment of which HE -despite all the bullshit rhetoric is the unofficial 'hipster' golden child?! Someone needs to tell Eggers to shut his heartbreaking trap as he's quickly becoming staggeringly annoying.

Edward Champion's Return of the Reluctant Main April 06, 2004 Remixing Dave Eggers Inspired by Low Culture 's use of "Auto Summarize," I screwed around with the Eggers serial in Word to figure out just why it was such an infuriating read. I discovered that the problem wasn't Eggers' imagination (which turned out to be more fecund than I had judged), nor his details or overall content. There's actually a lot of good stuff in his serial in particular, I dug the insouciant feel. In a famous essay, George Bernard Shaw rewrote the final act of Cymbeline . It may have been hubris on Shaw's part, but it was an interesting way to understand why the play fell apart. Now I'm not Shaw, and Eggers isn't Shakespare. But reproducing another person's story has always been a good way (for me anyway) to learn just what makes it tick. This time, something different happened. As I started typing the first part of the Eggers serial, I found myself compelled to make syntactical changes. Now I should note that the Salon serial represents a work in progress. I offer the results here not to badmouth Mr. Eggers, but to pose a question: Is Eggers' prose getting in the way of his storytelling? Here's the original . Here's my shaky attempt at an edit. I've given the story an active voice, and removed misplaced modifiers and repetitive details, trying to retain as much of the original tone as possible. You make the call.

Taking our cue from The Guardian’s Digested Reads and inspired by our dedication to you, the reader, we intended to provide brief summaries of the untitled novel as it is serialized in Salon . We at low culture , however, never quite anticipated how boring that task would prove. Enter Microsoft Word’s “AutoSummarize” feature. After plugging Episodes 1 through 18 into a Word doc, we simply let our PowerBook do the reading for us. What follows is the 275 word AutoSummary – it’s not entirely coherent, but perhaps it will be of service to someone, somewhere. "Bastards!" said Sergei. Sergei said, as it took shape.

A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS Dave Eggers Vintage Books Young Adult ISBN: 0375725784 485 pages Read an Excerpt Naming his first book A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS is an audacious move that puts an author in the unenviable position of having a lot to live up to. Fortunately, Dave Eggers is well up to the task. He'd have to be to consider writing his memoirs at the tender age of 29. You're lead to wonder what someone that age could possibly have lived through that would be worth telling. To start with, when Eggers was 21, both of his parents died five weeks apart, of separate cancers, leaving him with custody of his eight-year-old brother Toph (short for Christopher). Both brothers soon move, with their older sister Beth, from Chicago to San Francisco, where Eggers and some high school friends start the alternative magazine Might. But even in San Francisco they can't escape tragedy: a friend tries to commit suicide, and another friend's girlfriend dies suddenly. Dave and Toph now live in Brooklyn, where Eggers publishes McSweeney's, a literary quarterly. Throughout the story, Eggers cuts the pathos with a quirky wit, keeping the reader alternately crying and laughing. His unique situation of being young, hip, single, and a parent leads to some memorable scenes, such as the one in which he tries to score at Open House at Toph's school. "My goal, a goal I honestly thought was fairly realistic, was to meet an attractive single mother and have Toph befriend the mother's son so we can arrange playdates, during which the mother and I will go upstairs and screw around while the kids play outside."

Volume 14, Issue 2. February 1, 2003. Print-Friendly Version The Write Stuff From cult to culture, Dave Eggers and Co. are taking their idealism to the streets. Lorraine Adams T here is a long, slow line. The queue of narrow-shouldered boys in thrift-store shirts and black-tighted girls with Emily Dickinson stares is blocking aisles in a Washington bookstore. The faithful look to be just out of college or just past 30. They thread through the door and onto the sidewalk. They are waiting for Dave Eggers to sign copies of his first novel. Eggers' charisma is not readily apparent. His hair is frizz, his eyes scrunched, his shirt untucked. He looks vitamin deficient. "I think," says bookstore clerk Keltie Hawkins, "his appeal has something to do with being a combination of cool and approachable." His is an unsexy cool it comes from a mawkish life story. When Eggers was 21, his parents died of cancer within a month of each other, leaving him to raise his 8-year-old brother. Seven years later, Eggers' 2000 memoir, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius , became a best seller. Its story of a near-child raising a child resonated with a generation marked by divorce, working parents and what Eggers terms "a loose weak human chaos of emotion."

What Dave Eggers is up to posted August 06, 2002 at 11:51 am ET The New Yorker has an interview with Dave Eggers about his upcoming book (fiction this time). Here's an excerpt about San Francisco: "Living in the Bay Area, you're faced with more homelessness than probably any other place in America. So you have to be ready to deal with their plight all the time, and you have to make dozens of decisions each day about who to give money to and who not to. That's a lot of pressure, every day, and sometimes ten times a block, if you're walking down, say, Haight, or lower Geary. And you really do make these decisions in the most random ways." Eggers is also editing the upcoming The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2002 . The publisher describes the book as "a selection for young people of the best literature from mainstream and alternative American periodicals: from The New Yorker to Jane, Rolling Stone to The Onion, Vibe to various magazines, zines, and journals that, if you're over thirty, you've never heard of." I wonder if the book will include any writing from the Internet? (Probably not...I've got half a mind to pitch a Best Online Writing 2002 book to Houghton Mifflin. There's a lot of online-only writing that deserves a wider audience.) Reader Comments (39 comments) Erika says: And, FYI, if anyone wants to hang out with M. Eggers and Mark Eitzel, there's a benefit for 826 Valencia, Dave's student writing workshop and pirate supply store, tomorrow night at Gallery Lux
