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

3.0

I read this book when I was 20 and it came out. I felt that I had found a kindred spirit trying to find themselves. I remember the writing being a fierce dive into the author’s emotional world. Returning to it over 20 years later, the writing didn’t hold up to my memory. I was disappointed in the sometimes sexist and racist diatribes as well as the self-indulgent excuses. I would be interested to see how the author looking back later in life.
