![]() ![]() ![]() Lately, when he's not writing screenplays, Eggers has written best-selling books with a strong sense of social justice that are true or based in truth. Yet inside all of that is Eggers the writer, who's publishing his first novel of pure invention in a decade, "A Hologram for the King." For his work, he's been awarded the TED Prize, the Heinz Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Innovators Award. He's the head of the multicity literacy nonprofit 826, which is partly supported by whimsical storefronts like the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Store. He's the founder of McSweeney's, a successful independent publishing house and innovative literary journal that grew out of a still-vital humor website. The 42-year-old author is accomplished in many fields. More than any other writer of his generation, Dave Eggers is a brand. ![]()
