Book Reviews
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
By Dave Eggers (Simon & Schuster $24.00)

I hope that I am able to do this amazing work justice. Brilliantly crafted, ingeniously written -- every word, every phrase is given the utmost attention to detail. Every emotion, action, thought and subtlety is taken care of with exquisite nonchalance. The humor is just so. The sorrow in its place. The rage well tended to. The confusion, self-exploration, and re-education of what life entails are all evident and poetically presented.
