(Check out the actual chin scratching occurring, lower right, at an intelligentsia event. Har!)
Here we have novelist Dave Eggers at the National Book Critics Circle nominee announcement at City Lights. We're in love with his bulky v-neck sweater. Very nice.

I love McSweeney's, but his books made me want to pound nails into the floor with my forehead.
McSweeney's content is great, but I got the "let's include a bunch of pages that are printed upside down, fold out, or fall out when you open the book" urge out of my system when I edited my college yearbook.
Incandeza, may I suggest Eric Bogosian?
Thanks, G! I see he felt the same way.
Oh my, yummmers!
There is no author on earth I hate as much as Eggers and I am baffled with all the fascination over this pretentious ass.
Wow.
The title of his first memoir really must've set a tone for you then, huh?
