Product DescriptionMore Books by Dave Eggers (Author)Run a Quick Search on "You Shall Know Our Velocity" by Dave Eggers to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "You Shall Know Our Velocity"Browse more products related to "Dave Eggers"Review"YOU SHALL KNOW OUR VELOCITY is a lesser effort, but entirely honorable and ultimately persuasive." "[It] feels like a crafts fair project--bits and pieces of found and homemade objects stuck together, sometimes artfully, sometimes not, into a messy, unconvincing assemblage....Though the novel attests, intermittently, to Mr. Eggers's glorious gifts as a writer, it stands in sharp contrast to the book that made his reputation two years ago....[A] much slighter, more perfunctory performance...." Eggers is a wonderful writer, bold and inventive, with the technique of a magic realist....If it sounds a bit sophomoric, it is. So is ON THE ROAD. So was EMILE....A writer is among us, however imperfect, and he'll only get better if we leave him alone." Publisher's noteAfter acquiring $34,000, Will and Hand travel around the world giving away the money. AnnotationWhen their friend Jack is killed in a bizarre accident, Will and Hand--lifelong friends, both 20-somethings, both from Milwaukee--go off on a trip that takes them to Senegal, Morocco, and the Baltic states. They also have a great deal of money that they wish to give away (the profits from Will's odd little modeling gig) so Will can unload the guilt that goes with it. Strangers in strange lands, Will and Hand try to assuage their grief--and of course learn that their attempt is doomed to fail. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
