I was a solitary child who lived in the world of books and my own vivid imagination.īecause my father was a career military officer - an Army dentist - I lived all over the world. That left me in-between, and exactly where I wanted most to be: on my own. Little brother Jon was the only boy and had interests that he shared with Dad together they were always working on electric trains and erector sets and later, when Jon was older, they always seemed to have their heads under the raised hood of a car.

In memoir, in fiction, and in service of a peculiar brand of cultural semi-intellectualism? Less so. In the California-based author’s earliest years–fronting Might, a satirical magazine and McSweeney’s, a somewhat serious journal–these qualities were strengths. A light pompousness and a wan nobility inform Dave Eggers’ writing, a knowingness, a self-consciousness. |
