SUMMARY:Dave Eggers
DESCRIPTION:A captivating\, often hilarious novel of family\, loss\, wilderness\, and the curse of a violent America\, Dave Eggers’ Heroes of the Frontier is a powerful examination of our contemporary life and a rousing story of adventure. \nJosie and her children’s father have split up\, she’s been sued by a former patient and lost her dental practice\, and she’s grieving the death of a young man senselessly killed. When her ex asks to take the children to meet his new fiancee’s family\, Josie makes a run for it\, figuring Alaska is about as far as she can get without a passport. Josie and her kids\, Paul and Ana\, rent a rattling old RV named the Chateau\, and at first their trip feels like a vacation: They see bears and bison\, they eat hot dogs cooked on a bonfire\, and they spend nights parked along icy cold rivers in dark forests. But as they drive\, pushed north by the ubiquitous wildfires\, Josie is chased by enemies both real and imagined\, past mistakes pursuing her tiny family\, even to the very edge of civilization. \nA tremendous new novel from the best-selling author of The Circle\, this is the darkly comic story of a mother and her two young children on a journey through an Alaskan wilderness plagued by wildfires and a uniquely American madness. \nDave Eggers is the bestselling author of seven books\, including A Hologram for the King\, a finalist for the National Book Award; Zeitoun\, winner of the American Book Award and Dayton Literary Peace Prize; and What Is the What\, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won France’s Prix Medici. That book\, about Valentino Achak Deng\, a survivor of the civil war in Sudan\, gave birth to the Valentino Achak Deng Foundation\, which operates a secondary school in South Sudan run by Mr. Deng. Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeneys\, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco that produces a quarterly journal\, a monthly magazine\, The Believer; a quarterly DVD of short films and documentaries\, Wholphin; and an oral history series\, Voice of Witness. In 2002\, with Ninive Calegari he cofounded 826 Valencia\, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for youth in the Mission District of San Francisco. Local communities have since opened sister 826 centers in Chicago\, Los Angeles\, New York\, Ann Arbor\, Seattle\, Boston\, and Washington\, D.C. Eggers is also the founder of ScholarMatch\, a program that matches donors with students needing funds for college tuition. A native of Chicago\, Eggers now lives in Northern California with his wife and two children.
