Sobre este artículo
San Francisco, CA: McSweeney's Books, 2009. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. A Fine, PRISTINE, COLLECTIBLE book issued by McSweeney's without a dust jacket. First Edition-First Printing with First Printing spelled out on the Publisher's page. The true story of one family, caught between America's two biggest policy disasters: the war on terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina. "Eggers' tone is pitch-perfect-suspense blended with just enough information to stoke reader outrage and what is likely to be a typical response: How could this happen in America? ... It's the stuff of great narrative nonfiction." -The New York Times Book Review
Sinopsis
Dave Eggers is the author of six previous books, including You Shall Know Our Velocity , winner of the Independent Book Award, and What Is the What , a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award and winner of France’s Prix Medici. That book, about Valentino Achak Deng, a survivor of the civil war in southern Sudan, gave birth to the Valentino Achak Deng Foundation, run by Mr. Deng and dedicated to building secondary schools in southern Sudan. Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney’s, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco that produces books, an eponymous quarterly journal, a monthly magazine ( The Believer ), and Wholphin , a quarterly DVD of short films and documentaries. In 2002, with Nínive Calegari he co-founded 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for youth in the Mission District of San Francisco. Local communities have since opened sister 826 centers in Chicago, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Ann Arbor, Seattle, and Boston. In 2004, Eggers taught at the University of California–Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and there, with Dr. Lola Vollen, he co-founded Voice of Witness, a series of books using oral history to illuminate human rights crises around the world. A native of Chicago, Eggers graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in journalism. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two children.
