Yes, other Eggers-related issues were to be covered this week (such as the .com/.net/.org saga) but those things have all been pushed aside since the EFLSR arrived in my inbox almost a week ago. Read it and you will understand. [9.a] Last week the FoE! Log received a forwarded e-mail from a reliable source. Specifically, the e-mail was a selection of posts to a discussion group dedicated to the band Pavement. Of most interest is a post by a Harvard student who explained that he and some other editors at "the godawful campus literary magazine"

Flamboyantly humble
by Max Watman Click to buy the book. D ave Eggers, flamboyantly humble, ashamed of his success, wallowing in that same success, the biggest dork of all, has second-order vanity, bad. He has had it since he edited the irreverent, sometimes hilarious, and ultimately shallow Might magazine. He thinks quite a lot of himself, but he knows that is not good. Consider the author photo for his first book, the mega-block-buster Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius His first novel, You Shall Know Our Velocity S OJ Perhaps he thinks that clean copy is a vanity, or a tool of the New York literati, at whom he is thumbing his nose by moving back to the West Coast and supporting independent bookstores. His repudiation strikes less charming notes, as well. The literary agent Elyse Cheney had to sue to receive her six-figure commission for the sale of his first book to the movies. Eggers is not against agents. He has a new agent: Andrew Wylie. One hand is thumb to nose; the other is signing a note thanking The New Yorker for publishing an excerpt of his novel.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Dave Eggers A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Dave Eggers Dave Eggers, the 29-year-old editor of the determinedly odd literary journal , has written a memoir that wreaks delirious havoc by turning the autobiographical genre on its head. As its flippant title makes riotously clear, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is altogether a triumphant literary debut.
The laughter begins to stick in our throats when Eggers recounts the harrowing cancer death of his 51-year-old mother. He unflinchingly evokes the awful eternity of watching a dying parent’s final days - "All words will be considered her last, until they are followed by others." Some readers will undoubtedly be offended by Eggers’s irreverence, but the jokes are an honest expression of the fragile human impulse to seek humor in the things that we fear the most:
I worry for us. I worry that any minute someone - the police, a child welfare agency, a health inspector, someone - will burst in and arrest me, or maybe just make fun of me, shove me around, call me bad names, and then take Toph away, will bring him somewhere where the house is kept clean, where laundry is done properly and frequently, where the parental figure or figures can cook and do so regularly, where there is no running around the house poking each other with sticks from the backyard.

BOOKS Searching for the real Dave Eggers By KIM CURTIS, AP SAN FRANCISCO Friday 27 April 2001 We sat cross-legged on the dusty bookstore floor. My knees rested on the thighs of the man and woman on either side of me. We were cramped and tired of waiting. And we were the lucky ones. Best-selling author Dave Eggers stepped over bodies and carefully edged his way through the crowd. He miraculously made it to a folding table and microphone up front without crushing a hand or damaging a foot, and quickly apologised to the hundreds outside who couldn't get in. ``Oh man,'' he said. ``I just wanted to read here. If you can read at City Lights, good Lord! I didn't think about this part of it, though.'' The crowd Eggers attracted was close to what William S Burroughs had drawn in the mid-1980s. Fans outside stood with faces pressed against the glass. They had arrived too late, and the landmark City Lights Bookstore in North Beach, founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and made famous by the beatniks, was full. And that's too bad, because the lucky ones were in for a good time. There was only one potential spoiler, and that was me.

    A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius
    Dave Eggers
    have found two good writers. Good writers are hard to find. One is called Something David Wallace and I will tell you about him later. The other is Dave Eggers. Eggers is a kid in his twenties who has written a memoir. Well, sort of a memoir. His Catholic, middle class parents died within weeks of each other when Eggers was twenty. He took on the task of raising his kid brother Toph, who was eight. They moved from Lake Forest in Illinois to Berkeley, rented a small house, hung family photos on the wall, and moved in what was left of the family furniture Their sister Beth lived a block away. She was getting a law degree at Cal. Dave supported Toph by working as a temp. With nothing but energy, youth and talent (and the ten thousand dollars his parents left him) Eggers started a funky magazine called Might. It was about young people by young people. He now puts out a literary quarterly called McSweeney's. Eggers has known grief at an early age, loss and the huge responsibility of raising a boy. All of this has given him a handle on what is important and what is not. The ecstasy of youth in the face of death is important. When you know life is fragile, a temporary thing, it makes you want to gobble up experience, to hold in your hand for an instant the sheer beauty of it all. Eggers don't dwell on this in his book but he does show us with words. He makes us see it. And when we see it, we weep with the shared commonality of the intimate understanding that we now share.

    I have mixed feelings about Dave Eggers. I stay up at night thinking about it. Well, I stayed up one night thinking about it. It's what happens, I suppose, when you have to write a review of someone whom you've previously admired but have sort of had this falling out with. Not literally, mind you. I've never met Dave Eggers. Haven't even gone to one of the infamous readings/signings he did for his first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius . (You know, the ones where he planted his buddies, etc. in the audience to heckle him or engage in otherwise inappropriate book reading/signing behavior.) Dave Eggers, to put it simply, is just too cool for me. He's hip and he's young and he's talented and he makes both envy-inducing (on the level of genius, yes) decisions and bone-headed, sophomoric, hey-look-at-me-Ma-No-Hands decisions that make me want to reach through the page or computer screen and strangle the guy. Egger's newest book You Shall Know Our Velocity (this one actually claiming to be fiction) has all of these elements. It's both gleefully fun to read and ultimately disappointing. At least, I think. I have long, drawn-out conversations with myself. I toss and turn. It's ridiculous ... really.

    Dave Eggers is a fucking superstar
    By Mr. Happy Back to the Essays
    March 2, 2000 Dave Eggers is a fucking superstar. I went to his reading here in town last night and, along with about 50 or so other lazy scum, was turned away. His fame had preceded him apparently, far too quickly for a larger room to be opened. Powell's World of Books was already filled to capacity with Eggers ass-kissers. I could only swear (rather loudly I realize in retrospect) and turn away in disgust. This is how they treat me? Me who shelled out $12 for the hardcover? Me who trudged 20 blocks? Me who was man enough to admit I hadn't even finished his book? Sadly, the answer is yes. This is how the hype machine works in America anno domini 2000. To be honest, I went to the reading secretly intending to frag Eggers, or rather Eggers' hype. I have nothing against the guy, really; he's literate, funny, witty, intelligent, self-effacing, smart enough to start a website , and responsible enough to raise a young 'un. And yet there is a long tradition of fragging the famous in this country, who am I to go against tradition? Wait, that's a cop-out, scratch that. You'll have to forgive me. You see I already sat through the Star Wars hype, the ID4 hype, the Godzilla/MIB/Wild, Wild West/Malcolm in the Middle/Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Hype… and at this point, it's amazing I even condescend to listen to critics anymore. They're always shills for some network or conglomerate and always so transparently fake in their lauded glory. Why in god's name should I bother to believe Dave Eggers is the shit? Even the slightest bit dope or phat?

    FROM: CBROOKS@WWEEK.COM
    SUBJECT: FYI, DAVE EGGERS
    TO: MZUSMAN@WWEEK.COM Mark, FYI, I'm thinking of running a story on Dave Eggers. Remember Might magazine in the early 1990s? They nailed the media to the wall and sifted the zeitgeist of those insanely disaffected Gen-Xers. They ran cover stories about whether black people are cooler than white people, started this hilarious column rating people's gayness, and in one memorable issue colluded with Adam Rich, of Eight Is Enough fame, to fake his death and write an over-the-top memorial that was picked up by many, many news sources as fact. Might fell victim to the thing that claims most energetic projects started by people in their 20s (lack of funds), and Eggers went to work at
