Review:
I cannot recall the last time I was this moved by a novel. It is impossible to read this book and not be humbled, enlightened, transformed
Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner
If there was ever any doubt that Dave Eggers is one of our most important storytellers, What Is the What should put it to rest... [A] strange, beautiful and unforgettable work (San Francisco Chronicle)
A remarkable book: harrowing, witty, wretched, delightful; and always compelling, always surprising (London Review of Books)
