A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

Available from Nook & Cranny Books when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the moving memoir of a college senior who, in the space of five weeks, loses both of his parents to cancer and inherits his eight-year-old brother. This exhilarating debut that manages to be simultaneously hilarious and wildly inventive as well as a deeply heartfelt story of the love that holds a family together.
