DAVE EGGERS will sign
Zeitoun is the story of a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, who stayed behind during Hurricane Katrina to protect his house and contracting business. After traveling the flooded streets of New Orleans in a secondhand canoe to help those in need, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared. Eggers spent three years researching to find out why, and the result is a riveting, haunting and eloquent story. Like his earlier book, What is the What, Eggers wrote Zeitoun in close collaboration with its subjects.|
