The Resource Eggers, Dave

Description: Dave Eggers is a jack of all trades in the literary world. He's an editor, a publisher, and a writer of both fiction and nonfiction; he works in genres from memoir to literary fiction to picture books. It is difficult to make generalizations about the unpredictable Eggers, who can glide from silly to ironic to tragic in one book, but it's safe to say that he reliably delivers pathos and passion, whether his subject is serious, fanciful, or somewhere in between. Start with: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (Nonfiction); What Is the What (Adult Fiction); Her Right Foot (Younger Kids Nonfiction); The Lifters (Older Kids Fiction)
