A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction A number one New York Times Bestseller A stunning memoir chronicling profound grief and comic absurdity. ‘Heartbreaking? Certainly. Staggering? Yes, I’d say so. And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too’ – The Sunday Times Dave Eggers' parents died from cancer within a month of each other when he was twenty-one and his brother, Christopher, was seven. They left the Chicago suburb where they had grown up and moved to San Francisco. Hilarious and deeply heartfelt, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the story of their life together. ‘Virtuosic’ – The New York Times ‘Prodigious’ – The Irish Times ‘Shocking’ – The London Review of Books ‘Moving’ – The Washington Post
