A Hologram for the King A Novel (Dave Eggers)

A Hologram for the King takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economys gale-force winds. In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughters college tuition, and finally do something great. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment - and a moving story of how we got here.A National Book Award FinalistOne of the New York Times Book Reviews 10 Best Books of the YearOne of the Best Books of the Year from The Boston Globe and San Francisco Chronicle
