A Hologram for the King Dave Eggers

New from Dave Eggers, National Book Award finalist A Hologram for the King.

In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment - and a moving story of how we got here.

Praise for A Hologram for the King:

'Absorbing . . . modest and equally satisfying: the writing of a comic but deeply affecting tale about one man's travails that also provides a bright, digital snapshot of our times' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

'A fascinating novel'
-New Yorker-

'A spare but moving elegy for the American century'
-Publishers Weekly-

'Eggers understands the pressures of American downward-mobility, and in the protagonist of his novel, Alan Clay, has created an Everyman, a post-modern Willy Loman . . . The novel operates on a grand and global scale, but it also is intimate'
-Chicago Tribune-

'Completely engrossing'
-Fortune-

'Eggers can do fiction as well as he likes'
-Los Angeles Times-
