Dave Eggers

Most of the proceeds from online sales go to support the scholarship endowment at 826 Valencia.

 

"You Shall Know Our Velocity is the work of a wildly talentedwriter. Like Kerouac's book, Eggers could inspire ageneration as much as it documents it."

-- LA Weekly

 

"There's an echolet of James Joyce there and something ofSaulBellows' Chi-town bounce, but we're carried into thenarrative by a fluidity of line that is Eggers' own."

-- Entertainment Weekly

 

"An entertaining and profoundly original tale."

-- The San Francisco Chronicle

 

"Entirelyhonorable and ultimately persuasive. Eggers' frisbeesentences sail, spin, hover, circle and come back tothe reader likegifts of gravity and grace."

-- The New York Times Book Review

 

"Eggers' strengths as a writer are real: his funny, pitch-perfectdialogue; the way his prose delicately captures thebumblebeeblundering of Will's thoughts, and the stream-waterclarity of hisdescriptions."

-- Time

 

"Eggers is a wonderful writer, bold and inventive, withthe technique of a magic realist."

-- Salon
