Certainly. Staggering? Yes, I'd say so. And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too' Anthony Quinn, Sunday Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Is this how all orphans would speak - \"I am at once pitiful and monstrous, I know\" - if they had Dave Eggers's prodigious linguistic gifts? For he does write wonderfully, and this is an extremely impressive debut' John Banville, Irish Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'A virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented - yes, staggeringly talented - new writer' - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Exhilarating . . . Profoundly moving, occasionally angry and often hilarious . . . A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is, finally, a finite book of jest, which is why it succeeds so brilliantly' - New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'What is really shocking and exciting is the book's sheer rage.  AHWOSG is truly ferocious, like any work of genius. Eggers - self-reliant, transcendent, expansive - is Emerson's ideal Young American. [The book] does itself justice: it is a settling of accounts. And it is almost too good to be believed' - London Review of Books \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'A hilarious book . . . In it, literary gamesmanship and self-consciousness are trained on life's most unendurable experience, used to examine a memory too scorching to stare at, as one views an eclipse by projecting sunlight onto paper through a pinhole' -  Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Eggers evokes the terrible beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan, frothing with furious anger . . . He takes us close, shows us as much as he can bear . . . His book is a comic and moving witness that transcends and transgresses formal boundaries' - Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780330456715\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780330456715","offer_id":39414753099869,"sku":"9780330456715","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1d5273b8-ecd8-407f-b6d4-9d2ec03825c1.jpg?v=1780115111","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/a-heartbreaking-work-of-staggering-genius-von-dave-eggers","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
