A review by cmcomfort
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

2.0

As the title suggests, this book was narcissistic to its core. Using an interview to reflect on “is this really part of an interview or is this a commentary about the book/a cheap, easy way to add in back story about the characters” was cheeky but having Eggers refer to the book/himself/his writing process within these pages so many times afterwards was annoying and frustrating to read. AHWOSG also contained a cast of generally undeveloped, mostly unrelatable characters, the main one being Eggers himself.
