SYNOPSIS
Cricket is just a shy kid who likes drawing when he first meets Olympia. She's older, more confident; she bullies him into some light vandalism and instantly he's in love. When they're together, they talk about their futures, how they're going to travel the world, the beauty and rapture of art.
Then those futures start to arrive in unexpected ways, the years and decades pile up between them, the art world seduces and disappoints and frustrates them. And they have to figure out, again and again, what it is to be an artist, and who and what to love.
This is a wild and beautiful novel about two friends who believe they can change the world, if only they can start their own movement, dodge charlatans, remain open-eyed and open-hearted, avoid going mad, avoid dying young of rare cancers, stay true to their ideals and never tire of beauty. Not easy, but not impossible, either.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dave Eggers
Dave Eggers nasceu em Boston, em 1970, numa família com 4 irmãos. Depois da morte dos seus pais, em 1991, mudou-se com o irmão mais novo, de quem ficou tutor legal, para a Califórnia, onde frequentou a Universidade de Berkley. Escritor galardoado, Eggers recebeu também várias distinções pela sua actuação junto das comunidades, nomeadamente, pelo trabalho que desenvolve em 826 Valência - um projecto educativo sem fins lucrativos que promove as competência linguísticas e literárias de jovens dos seis aos dezoito anos -; e, mais recentemente, pela denúncia do fracasso da administração americana no rescaldo do Katrina, através do seu envolvimento no caso Zeitoun e subsequente relato em livro (Quetzal, 2010). Dave Eggers é fundador da editora independente McSweeney’s. Vive com a mulher - a escritora Vandela Vida - e os seus dois filhos na baía de São Francisco.
