Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers is an American author of literary fiction and non-fiction, in addition to also being an editor and a publisher. He is the son of an attorney and a teacher.

These events were chronicled in his first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. He later founded his own publishing house, McSweeney’s. Eggers is married to fellow writer Vendela Vida and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dave Eggers debuted as a published author in 1999 with A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
