I found Zeitoun at Imprints Bookshop in Adelaide and drove straight home to read it. Eggers writing is so amazingly good, his power of observation and imagination so astute that I hope he doesn’t ever stop writing. I sought out everything else by Eggers, which is pretty substantial when you start looking. When I wrote to him about speaking at an event, he was good enough to reply himself. And now I find myself living in the same place as him and his family – Sausalito.
