The most formally inventive work in his shape-shifting, defiantly postmodern oeuvre, Dave Eggers’ Your Fathers… is a claustrophobic, experimental affair composed entirely of dialogue and nondescript location titles.
Having made his name with the unforgettable, genre-crossing A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Eggers has remained one of literature’s leading lights both as a publisher (he founded the consistently excellent niche publisher McSweeney’s) and with an unpredictable string of novels and fiction/non-fiction hybrids.
