Dave Eggers impressed readers and critics with his debut memoir, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Since, he's written several books, including What Is the What, a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award, and Zeitoun. The Wild Things, based loosely on the storybook by Maurice Sendak and on the screenplay Eggers co-wrote with Spike Jonze, is about a boy making his way in a world he can't control. Funny, dark, and alive, The Wild Things is a timeless tale for all ages.
"[Eggers] highest achievement is in having found a fresh way to tell us a story we already know so well, about the monstrous forces of love and hate that mark every childhood — and pursue us howling into adulthood."
—Steve Almond, Boston Globe
