Dave Eggers

The sixth short novella or long short story in Dave Eggers's The Forgetters series. Aurora Mahoney runs one of three whale-watching businesses on the Monterey coast. It's a life of great beauty, wonder and camaraderie, but after one of her fellow captains retires, a new, and decidedly different, sort of captain takes his place. What had been a simple and charmed life is clouded by a sinister, and yet aloof, new force on the waterfront. This is a page-turning examination of what makes a paradise, and how easily one human can destroy it.

Henry Award A man named Rub, not too young and not too old, lives in a sinking skyscraper and works for a personal-injury lawyer who's slowly losing his mind. Every day Rub stares out at the tiny boats on the San Francisco Bay, wanting to be there and not filing paperwork for a cloistered madman. Finally Rub goes to a rickety dock by the sea, seeking sailing lessons. He meets the singular Sanravelle, a barefoot captain, who leads him out of the blight and into a life of speed and cold and light.

Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sardà spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of ingenuity. It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked – losing all but the mansion – she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie would remove the whole mansion instead – rolling it away slowly on logs – while she and her son were still living in it? Narrated with metafictional flair, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.

From Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Eggers, Soren’s Seventh Song is a deadpan take on creativity and persistence, as told through the eyes of a humpback whale looking for a new song—with color illustrations by Mark Hoffman. Soren, a young humpback whale, loves music but is tired of the dull, droning, endless songs that are frustratingly popular among the adult whales he knows. He has ideas for better songs: shorter, up-tempo tunes with snare drums and even maracas. Unfortunately, every time he shares his new tunes with his friends, he’s met with less than encouraging feedback and even a bit of discreet whale vomiting. In this upbeat story of resilience and tenacity, Dave Eggers offers readers of all ages essential creative advice: your first drafts are probably terrible.

For få år siden blev Rubjerg Knude Fyr flyttet 70 meter ind i landet, hvilket er lidt af en bedrift – men historien har et noget ældre og mere spektakulært fortilfælde! I slutningen af 1800-tallet købte en rig englænder en sølvmine i Idaho, hvor han slog sig ned og byggede et vidunderligt palæ. Uheldigvis gik han hen og døde, og da enken, fru Miller, blev snydt af en grådig bankmand (de fandtes også dengang), måtte hun finde en måde at tjene penge – så hun blev svineavler. Men, men, men … naboerne var ikke glade for lugten (sådan var det også dengang), så Fru Miller måtte enten opgive sine grise eller flytte hele baduljen – inklusive det smukke palæ – til et nyt sted … 6 kilomenter udenfor byen! Og det gjorde hun!!! De de flyttede Millers Minnie Moore Mine Palæ er en sand historie om minejægere, præriehunde, grise, heste, viljestyrke, udholdenhed og dedikation! Snurrigt og smukt illustreret af Júlia Sardà, der også er internationalt kendt for sin egen Dronningen i grotten.

Winner of the 2024 O. Henry Prize In this long short story, or short novella, Dave Eggers gives us an unforgettable duo, Helen and Peter Mahoney, a homebody niece and her adventurous, almost-British uncle. Helen designs invitations to parties and galas to which she is not welcome, and is quite comfortable with that. One day, though, Peter wonders, "Why not print an extra invite and I'll be your plus one?" What starts out as an innocuous lark becomes much more -- a very funny and lyrical referendum on why humans congregate and celebrate.
