CCW Book Club: “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius”

Join the CCW Book Club to discuss Dave Egger’s memoir, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. According to Library Journal, “The expected tales of emotional longing, political alien- ation, and creative struggle by a smart twentysomething are replaced by a stream of hilarious, how-it-happened anecdotes; often inane, how-we-really-talk dialog; and quick jabs at some of our society's bizarre conventions. In the end one is left with a surprisingly moving tale of family bonding and resilience as well as the nagging suspicion that maybe he made the whole thing up.”
