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 daughter's college tuition, and finally do
something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers 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 economy's
gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a
powerful evocation of our contemporary moment -- and a moving story of
how we got here.
