Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

Eggers can write about pretty much anything and make it glitter and somersault on the page . . . dazzling and highly original

Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Possibly the most admired and emulated American author of his generation

Independent

A jazz session - a brief, single helping of strangeness that flaunts his panache for stylistic experimentation. . . The writing is compelling and the characterization astute

Booklist

Inherently interesting. I can think of few contemporary American writers who convey such a sense of urgency about the mess we're in. Eggers pulls no punches

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A one-sitting read . . . insightful

USA Today

One of the country's leading literary eminences

Washington Post

Eggers writes so well you would read a computer manual if it was by him, but beneath his beguiling style is a base note of genuine concern about those who find themselves out of kilter with society.

HERALD

His latest novella, Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? stretches his toying with literary forms to new lengths...compelling

EVENING STANDARD

But with each tightly controlled book, Eggers' fiction becomes more prescient, moving and unsettling... Even if all generations are lost generations, we need engaged, incendiary novels which ask: What now?
