Certainly. Staggering? Yes, Id say so. And if genius is capturing the universal in a fresh and memorable way, call it that too Anthony Quinn, Sunday TimesIs this how all orphans would speak - I am at once pitiful and monstrous, I know - if they had Dave Eggerss prodigious linguistic gifts? For he does write wonderfully, and this is an extremely impressive debut John Banville, Irish TimesA virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented - yes, staggeringly talented - new writer - Michiko Kakutani, New York TimesExhilarating . . . Profoundly moving, occasionally angry and often hilarious . . . A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is, finally, a finite book of jest, which is why it succeeds so brilliantly - New York Times Book ReviewWhat is really shocking and exciting is the books sheer rage. AHWOSG is truly ferocious, like any work of genius. Eggers - self-reliant, transcendent, expansive - is Emersons ideal Young American. [The book] does itself justice: it is a settling of accounts. And it is almost too good to be believed - London Review of BooksA hilarious book . . . In it, literary gamesmanship and self-consciousness are trained on lifes most unendurable experience, used to examine a memory too scorching to stare at, as one views an eclipse by projecting sunlight onto paper through a pinhole - TimeEggers evokes the terrible beauty of youth like a young Bob Dylan, frothing with furious anger . . . He takes us close, shows us as much as he can bear . . . His book is a comic and moving witness that transcends and transgresses formal boundaries - Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67768582111520,"sku":"NEW0330456717","price":22.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61KzY8Jku_L.jpg?v=1791998918","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-heartbreaking-work-of-staggering-genius-0330456717","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
