"the spirit catches you and you fall down, " by anne fadiman "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" comments kristi @ 01.55.am | October 08, 2002 i've read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, as well, and it was good.. but i think what bothered me most was articles i had read about him, following the publication of the novel. Essentially, they conveyed the notion that Eggers is a self-viewed martyr and self-righteous at that, regarding his role in his brother's life... even quotes from him were a little too much for me.. still, i enjoyed the book. My recent recommendation? i just finished All Over But the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg. Really really good. autobiographical growing up in S. Alabama, made me long for home, Yacob(and i'm never homesick). A hard life, but not a sad book. email | website yakov @ 11.03.pm | October 07, 2002 thank you, lisa. are you a book lover, too? email | website lisa @ 10.35.am | October 05, 2002 great selections. Eggers is a true genius. yakob at 1:22 AM |
