Product Description

Product Description
Dave Eggers has been partly responsible for a rejuvenation of short fiction in the USA, and these short short stories are as original and witty as any of his longer works.

About the Author
Dave Eggers is the author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, You Shall Know Our Velocity and How We Are Hungry. He is the editor of McSweeney's, the odd and popular literary quarterly, and the founder of 826 Valencia, a non-profit educational centre/pirate supply store in San Francisco.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing zest, 10 Aug 2005
By Mr B (Devon) - See all my reviews
If this makes Eggers' new collection sound like a soft-drink, then so be it - at a couple of pages a piece, they don't take much longer to gulp down and the effect is immediately invigorating: at first, you'll be amazed someone has the gall to call some of these stories, then marvel at how unshackled they make the world seem - leaving you free to follow the merry dance they lead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short, Short Review, 23 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Beautiful, poignant and very funny. That's all you need to know.

(also, think about the £2.75 postage on a book costing £1.50. If you're buying it here, make sure you're spending another £17.50, otherwise get it from your local bookshop)
