Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?: a novel - Tapa blanda

One of our fiercest and most compelling writers (Sunday Times)

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? (INDEPENDENT)
