Dave Eggers
There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
I went to Saudi Arabia in 2010, and spent most of my time in Jeddah and the King Abdullah Economic City.
Dave Eggers
I've purposely stayed away from reading much about postmodern theory, and most everything I have read just bored me to tears. I don't think anybody's written about it, or very few have, with any verve.
Dave Eggers
Every time I get through the work on a book of nonfiction, I say I'll never do it again it takes so much out of you.
Dave Eggers
Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
Dave Eggers
