How We Are Hungry: Stories by Dave Eggers - Brossura

“These tales reinvigorate that staid old form, the short story, with a jittery sense of adventure.... Eggers does things that should be impossible, and he does them gracefully.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Beautiful stories, anchored in the real world.... How We Are Hungry looks like a classic.”
—The Oregonian

“A tour de force.... These pieces demonstrate the same startling geographic range and sly descriptive acuity that animated You Shall Know Our Velocity.... [Eggers’s] prose is supple, transparent and surprising.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Electrically funny ... full of the raw stuff of lives. The pain and the anger. Emotions that get mixed up and change from one minute to the next. The wonder and the joy. It’s all condensed and crafted, worked, that’s what fiction is. But it feels raw, and it’s exhilarating.”
—The Globe and Mail

“There’s plenty in this collection to remind us that, for all his noodling around, Eggers is phenomenally talented.”
—Washington Post

“[The story ‘Up the Mountain Coming Down Slowly’ is] a masterpiece ... the narration is magisterial, without a false note.... It may well be the last great twentieth-century short story.”
—The Observer (UK)

"'After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned’ is a small tour de force that ratifies [Eggers’s] ability to write about anything with style and vigour and genuine emotion.”
—The New York Times
