Summary

In his first novel, Dave Eggers has written a moving and hilarious tale of two friends who fly around the world trying to give away a lot of money and free themselves from a profound loss. It reminds us once again what an important, necessary talent Dave Eggers is.

Trauma, travel, time, and money

Two friends go on a week-long trip around the world in an attempt to spend and give away $32,000. The driving narrative is intercut with flashbacks to a recent trauma. Eggers creates a wonderful sense of elastic and unreal time. As with “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius”, there’s a sometimes stressful forward motion, of time running out and urgency. The narration by Dion Graham is good at the different voices and mostly held my attention.
