A sharp, clear, wide-eyed account of a businessman's troubles renders the destructive impact of global capitalism on everyman/woman. Also, the novel offers a "how to definitely not" self-care for a large, angry cyst if found on one's own neck. And finally, the reading experience offered on Kindles, Kobos, Bobos, Nobos and all other ebook devices doesn't stand a chance next to this sublime creation. —Recommended by Stacey, City Lights Books

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.
