"A virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented-yes, staggeringly talented new writer." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times " Exhilarating&. Profoundly moving, occasionally angry and often hilarious&. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is finally, a finite book of jest, which is why it succeeds so brilliantly." - The New York Times Book Review "Eggers evokes the terrible beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan, frothing with furious anger&. He takes us close, shows us as much as he can bear&. His book is a comic and moving witness that transcends and transgresses formal boundaries." - The Washington Post "[F]unny, wildly intelligent&. What's consistent throughout is the full-throttle voice: the sensibility of the man who grieves his parents, who safeguards his brother, who knows that his own presence here can walk the line between 'self-conscious' and 'self-devouring." - The Boston Globe "Eggers crafts something universal here, something raw and real and wonderful that transcends any zeitgeist and manages to deal trenchantly with 'big issues' that often prove too daunting for younger writers: mortality, youth the artifice of writing, the Zen of Frisbee. This is a beautifully ragged, laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable book." - San Francisco Chronicle "This is a beautifully ragged, laugh-out-loud funny and utterly unforgettable book.", "A virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented-yes, staggeringly talented new writer." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times " Exhilarating….
