Your Fathers, Where Are They? and the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

Okay. I love Dave Eggers. I can't help it. [b:A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius 4953 A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Dave Eggers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327714834s/4953.jpg 42857] is probably still my all-time favorite book, and I love [b:What is the What 4952 What is the What Dave Eggers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328837457s/4952.jpg 3271214] and [b:Zeitoun 6512154 Zeitoun Dave Eggers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1296580156s/6512154.jpg 6703901], and I love the work he does with McSweeney's and 826 and Voices of Witness. Love it.But the problem is I think over the last few years (as he enters middle-aged white dude status) Dave Eggers has been on some kind of quest to see if he can make the struggles of middle-class white dudes as interesting as like, refugees and tragic young orphans. Spoiler alert: HE CANNOTHe's still a good writer on like, a line by line basis. But overall this whole novel is just like ughhhh we get it we have all been let down by American society we get itttttLike just please write a book about somebody with ~real problems~ Dave you're so good at that
