This is the first extensive analysis of the works of Dave Eggers.
"One Man Zeitgeist: Dave Eggers, Publishing and Publicity"
undertakes the first extensive analysis of the works of Dave
Eggers, an author who has grown from a small-time media upstart
into one of the most influential author-publishers of the
twenty-first century. Eggers' rise to fame is charted in careful
detail, offering analysis of the circumstances of his success and
their effects on the production of his literary oeuvre. As both a
memoirist and novelist Eggers has distinguished himself from his
cohort of young American authors by insisting on seizing the reins
of his publishing output. The nature of this independent streak is
given attention in this study, particularly the cultural
circumstances of a digitalised, consumer society in which books and
literature are primarily commodities. Hamilton examines this spirit
of independence as both a practical and figurative state in Eggers'
works, and seeks to address the reasons why in a contemporary,
globalised society independence is not only personally gratifying
for Eggers but also a popularly successful strategy for producing
books.
