Irony with Soul: Dave Eggers Writes the Hippest of Memoirs
http://www.alternet.org/story/401/

Dave Eggers, the 29-year-old author of one of this season's hottest books, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," thinks people do not understand the word irony. In a complex and probing interview, Eggers explains why his latest literary endeavour defies irony, why writing shouldn't be so serious, and why -- at a time when people are fed up with tear-jerking books on incest and miserable childhoods -- his memoir is being hailed as the voice of Generation X.
