Dave Eggers Trying To Change The World


Dave Eggers is the author of the brilliant and best selling part novel, part memoir, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius as well as You Shall Know Our Velocity, What Is the What and most recently Zeitoun which is in the process of been turned into an animated film by Jonathan Demme. He is also an editor of McSweeney's publishing house. He is involved and the founder of numerous charitable non-profit projects, and not bullshit sending aid to countries who you screwed over in the first place kinda charity but such projects like co-foundeding 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for kids ages 6–18 in San Francisco.

And to lighten the mood here is a short film starring Paul Rudd from the Wolphin a quarterly visual magazine which Eggers created.
