Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In his first novel, Dave Eggers has written a moving and hilarious tale of two friends who fly around the world trying to give away a lot of money and free themselves from a profound loss.It reminds us once again what an important, necessary talent Dave Eggers is.

Review:

"Headlong, heartsick and footsore....Frisbee sentences that sail, spin, hover, circle and come back to the reader like gifts of gravity and grace....Nobody writes better than Dave Eggers about young men who aspire to be, at the same time, authentic and sincere." The New York Times Book Review

This book is so invested in heartache that it can be painful to read. For those who love or need sympathy for the heartache of life, it's great, but for those who don't need that cathartic, vicarious sadness, it can be quite draining.
