taciturnyetprolix I don't have a stomach for such things either.
Truthfully, I can't say how I come down on the book. Part of me was really impressed, but it seems to lack a certain sincerity - which the author alludes to - so I'm not really sure of my verdict just yet.
But, it has set me to thinking about the mechanics of writing, the fiction/nonfiction dichotomy in literature, the role we have with our parents and siblings and friends, etc, etc... so Eggers certainly had something on the ball. Nov 16, 2008
Prolagus I closed the book around page 3, during the description of the woman's vomit (if I remember well). Nov 16, 2008
