Summary:
A new novel from the bestselling author of "Zeitouni," winner of the American Book Award and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from recession-scarred America, a businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and do something great. In "A Hologram for the King," Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show one man's fight to hold himself and his family together in the face of the global economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment and a moving story of how we got here.
