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","brand":"Featherheart Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48570646823136,"sku":"9780330456715","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/4987\/2096\/files\/9780330456715.jpg?v=1768968505","url":"https:\/\/featherheartbooks.com\/ja\/products\/a-heartbreaking-work-of-staggering-genius","provider":"Featherheart Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
