Non fiction
Dave Eggers recommends
Sam the Cat: And Other Stories (2000) Matthew Klam "His stories... pierce and leap, are always bitingly funny, and are so, so alive... Klam is telling the truth while almost no one else is." | Dear Mr. President (2002) Gabe Hudson "Beyond their great narrative propulsion and their astonishing but always balanced surreality and humor, Gabe Hudson's stories have a crucial and rare thing: soul. He's an important writer." | Lost Joy (2002) Camden Joy "I know of no one who writes with more passion and more soul." | |
Things You Should Know (2003) A M Homes "Insanely good... huge meaty stories." | The Coast of Akron (2005) Adrienne Miller "One of the wittiest and most humane writers we have." | No One Belongs Here More Than You (2007) Miranda July "Incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny." | |
Travel Writing (2008) Peter Ferry "Totally captivating and page-turning on one level, completely soulful and honest on another level, beautifully written." |
