As a follow-up to DJ Cayenne’s post on new non-fiction, this stunning review in New York magazine of What is the What, the new book by Dave Eggers, deems the book “imaginary journalism.” Even though it is billed as a novel, Eggers spent years interviewing the Sudanese refugee that the story is based on.
If the review is accurate, run out today to Barnes and Noble and purchase it.

Imaginary Journalism, eh? I’m just glad that someone read that post. Anyway, I am going to assume that the review is accurate, because I love me some Dave Eggers. I’m going to get it from the McSweeney’s site though. The last Eggers book I ordered from his publishing arm arrived signed. Sweet.
