Complicated Slut
Sigh. I really do like that bookslut blog. The blog is funny, it keeps me up to date on what's coming out, it has a healthy regard for genre.
But what is with the loathing for the marvelous Dave Eggers? Like his writing or not, the guy is a goddamn saint. He founded and funds a writing-center/pirate store that does amazing work with children all over the city. It gives college scholarships and awards for teachers. His exoneree project works with people who have been exonerated of death penalty crimes, writing their stories. McSweeney’s publishes people that no one would ever consider putting into print. He does countless events for children's charities.
What can she possibly take issue with?

you're right, he does a lot.
but so do i, and a lot of other people i know, and we don't get praised for it on a daily basis. that's what annoys me (not about him as a person, but more about how people glorify him).
make me the feature of ONE oprah show, and i'm willing to put it all behind me.
