Ranging from a doomed Irish setter's tales of running and jumping (\"After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned\") to a bitterly comic meditation on suicide and friendship (\"Climbing to the Window, Pretending to Dance\"), and from the Egyptian desert to the asphalt of Interstate 5, these stories are Eggers at his finest. By turns devastating, clear-eyed and funn - incredibly funny - this collection is a marvel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAVE EGGERS is the author of many books, among them \u003ci\u003eThe Circle, The Eyes and the Impossible, The Monk of Mokha, A Hologram for the King, What Is the What\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Museum of Rain\u003c\/i\u003e.
