»En stor, virtuos, vågad, manodepressiv stuvning till bok.« The New York Times
När Dave Eggers var 21 år gammal dog båda hans föräldrar i cancer, med bara några veckors mellanrum. Han tvingades ta hand om sin lillebror »Toph«, som då bara var åtta år gammal. Ett hjärtslitande verk av förbluffande genialitet är den gripande och samtidigt på tusen sätt uppsluppna berättelsen om de båda brödernas liv efter att de i ett slag blivit föräldralösa. Om hur de flyttar från östkusten till västkusten i USA och där startar ett nytt liv. Dave Eggers debutbok hör till århundradets hittills mest framgångsrika. Ett hjärtslitande verk av förbluffande genialitet [2000] blev en litterär sensation när den kom och betraktas i dag som en modern klassiker. I svensk översättning av Thomas Preis.
»Dave Eggers frambesvärjer ungdomens trasiga skönhet som en ung Bob Dylan, skummande av ursinne. Hans bok är ett både komiskt och rörande vittnesmål som överskrider formens gränser.« The Washington Post

When the world's largest search engine / social media company merges with the planet's dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous-and, oddly enough, most beloved-monopoly ever known: The Every. Delaney Wells is an unlikely new hire. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within. With her compatriot, the not-at-all-ambitious Wes Kavakian, they look for the company's weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilization of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free? Studded with unforgettable characters and lacerating set-pieces, The Every blends satire and terror, while keeping the reader in breathless suspense about the fate of the company - and the human animal.

From the bestselling author of The Monk of Mokha and The Circle comes a taut, suspenseful story of two foreigners' role in a nation's fragile peace. An unnamed country is leaving the darkness of a decade at war, and to commemorate the armistice the government commissions a new road connecting two halves of the state. Two men, foreign contractors from the same company, are sent to finish the highway. While one is flighty and adventurous, wanting to experience the nightlife and people, the other wants only to do the work and go home. But both men must eventually face the absurdities of their positions, and the dire consequences of their presence. With echoes of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene, this timeless novel questions whether we can ever understand another nation's war, and what role we have in forging anyone's peace.
