[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius when it came out in 2000. At the time, I was a 20-something aspiring writer and I was both impressed by the book and jealous of Eggers' success. For those who care, Dan Kois' piece in Slate marking the 25th anniversary of the book is worth reading. I think it's interesting that Eggers regrets the book, and that he and Toph are estranged. I also did not realize that their sister Beth died by suicide in the years after the book came out. Anyway, if anyone cares to read, here's a link: https://slate.com/culture/2025/02/dave-eggers-heartbreaking-work-staggering-genius-book-toph.html?src=longreads [/quote] That's sad to hear. I also read it back then -- I'll bet it would be informative to read it again with our middle-aged perspective. [/quote]
