E BATTALION
A Heartbreaking Work of
Staggering Genius
Dave Eggers
Vintage Books
Eggers creates his own copyright
page on which he writes, “Any
resemblance to persons living or
dead should be plainly apparent to
them and those who know them,
especially if the author has been kind
enough to have provided their real names and, in some cases,
their phone numbers.”
He also includes “Rules and Suggestions For Enjoyment of
this Book,” in which he suggests that reading the preface is
not really necessary and is only there for those who have fin
ished the book and have nothing else to read. He ends the
book with a 48-page section titled “Mistakes We Knew We
Were Making,” where he includes corrections, clarifications
and apologies.
The book, based on a true story, describes the deaths of
Eggers’ parents within five weeks of each other. At age 22. he
becomes the unofficial guardian of his younger brother, Toph,
who is only eight years old. Toph and Dave embark on sever
al relocations and adventures. They live by their own rules in
a house that is as dirty as two average boys would have it.
Readers see Eggers’ sensitive and psychotic side when they
read about his fear that he will be viewed as a bad guardian
and will be reported to Child Protective Services. He is con
stantly conjuring crazy and unlikely ways they could take his
brother away and thinking of ways he will stop them.
Anyone who finds their thoughts drifting from one subject
to another and feel they must be a freak may be comforted and
reassured after reading Eggers’ rambling, inappropriate and
sometimes psychotic thoughts.
Readers both laugh and mourn as they experience death
within family and friends, humor when learning Eggers has a
lengthy interview for a part on MTV’s “The Real World” and
nearly meets President Clinton outside of a restaurant.
The book Was named a New York Times book review’s editor’s
choice. They named A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Gening
as one of the 10 best books of the year. Eggers’ work has also
received much-deserved praise from the San Francisco
Chronicle. The Washington Post. The Boston Globe and USA

Fans ot “Sex and the City'S
may be a bit disappointed alter
reading the ending, pages ol
Candace BushnelTs Four
Blondes. Bushnell, the author
of Sex and the City, provided
readers with the stories of fuur
new 30-somethings.
The girls in the book — a model, a Journalist, a
socialite and a writer — are sexy, rich fashion lit as in
New York City.
The four characters are not friends and ilo not knt>w
each other, unlike the ladies of HBO’s hit series. “Sex
and the City.”
The model, a former “it-girl,” spends each year Mjarfli-
ing for a rich man who owns a beach house in jhc iLuiiptons
and will let her live with him for the summer. In the eiid,
she is probably the most successful at learring what she
really wants from life — independence.
The journalist is plagued by a sour marffcge to a man
who w ill never meet her expectations. Both she and her
husband end up having affairs. The so^ahte drb>mng
in a pool of alcohol, paranoia and fame. AhSwthe writer
finds herself in London looking for love anti a great story
about sexual relationships in England. Hf
This book easily can be read in two^Dyn 'it readers are

While some scenarios are chucklelworthy. the book,
