What makes the adventures in the book so dismaying to read (presumably less so for an American audience) is that Will and Hand aren't content to relieve the domestic poverty of their own great nation.
They also swing from the branches of trees like stuntmen, try to jump from cars on to carts, and drive with only their tongues in contact with the steering wheel. They bury some cash in the woods, attaching a treasure map to a nearby swing take tiny trips in taxis and overtip, and engage in reverse haggling with shopkeepers. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.The money came Will's way more or less by accident (his silhouette was used to market light bulbs) and he regards it as a burden. Who is doing more, single-handedly and single-mindedly, for American writing?” - Time and the stream-water clarity of his descriptions. Eggers’s strengths as a writer are real: his funny pitch-perfect dialog the way his prose delicately captures the bumblebee blundering of Will’s thoughts. “There are some wonderful set-pieces here, and memorable phrases tossed on the ground like unwanted pennies from the guy who runs the mint.” - The Washington Post Book World “The bottom line that matters is this: Eggers has written a terrific novel, an entertaining and imaginative tale.” - The Boston Globe achieves a kind of anguished, profane poetry.” - Newsweek
“Eggers ’s writing really takes off - his forte is the messy, funny tirade, stuffed with convincing pain and wry observations.” - Newsday "An entertaining and profoundly original tale." - San Francisco Chronicle "Eggers is a wonderful writer, bold and inventive, with the technique of a magic realist." - Salon "There's an echolet of James Joyce there and something of Saul Bellow's Chinatown bounce, but we're carried into the narrative by a fluidity of line that is Eggers's own." - Entertainment Weekly Like Kerouac's book, Eggers's could inspire a generation as much as it documents it." - LA Weekly " You Shall Know Our Velocity! is the work of a wildly talented writer.
“Headlong, heartsick and footsore.Frisbee sentences that sail, spin, hover, circle and come back to the reader like gifts of gravity and grace.Nobody writes better than Dave Eggers about young men who aspire to be, at the same time, authentic and sincere.” - The New York Times Book Review
