Heartbreaking? Certainly. Staggering? Yes, Id say so. And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too Anthony Quinn, Sunday TimesIs this how all orphans would speak I am at once pitiful and monstrous, I know if they had Dave Eggerss prodigious linguistic gifts? For he does write wonderfully, and this is an extremely impressive debut John Banville, Irish TimesA virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manicdepressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented yes, staggeringly talented new writer Michiko Kakutani, New York TimesExhilarating . . . Profoundly moving, occasionally angry and often hilarious . . . A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is, finally, a finite book of jest, which is why it succeeds so brilliantly New York Times Book ReviewWhat is really shocking and exciting is the books sheer rage. AHWOSG is truly ferocious, like any work of genius. Eggers selfreliant, transcendent, expansive is Emersons ideal Young American. [The book] does itself justice: it is a settling of accounts. And it is almost too good to be believed London Review of BooksA hilarious book . . . In it, literary gamesmanship and selfconsciousness are trained on lifes most unendurable experience, used to examine a memory too scorching to stare at, as one views an eclipse by projecting sunlight onto paper through a pinhole TimeEggers evokes the terrible beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan, frothing with furious anger . . . He takes us close, shows us as much as he can bear . . . His book is a comic and moving witness that transcends and transgresses formal boundaries Washington Post
