Wow! That addendum is one of the most inspiring things I've read this year! And I'm sure I'll still feel that way 12 months from now!
I suddenly have a need to buy everything by the Flaming Lips.
I have to assume he was drunk when he wrote that.
Isn't he written any other new post?i am a great fan of him .
The attempt to stick that "Sell Out" tag on Eggers is forever old.
And it's total bullsh*t.
Name another author who made it big, was a critical smash, made a boat load of money... AND THEN turned around and gave so much back to newbies and wannabes and kid writers.
Dave Eggers invested a lot of time, reputation, and hard cash into low/no paying ventures dedicated to growing the next generation of writers.
Sell out? Please.
Jealous much?
For the record (is there a record?) I would never accuse Eggars or anyone else of being "sell-out." It's a naive, vaguely 60's era concept that has no meaning. It's a pose.
Writing is a business for the publishers, and for agents as well. No one seems to have any problem with publishers making money. But God forbid a writer should get ahead.
