Dave Eggers is the editor of McSweeneys and the author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
This is a series of emails sent from Eggers to journalist David Kirkpatrick, and vice-versa. They concern Kirkpatrick's hatchet job of an article, written about the release of the paperback version of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Though Eggers over-reacts slightly to the final piece (which appears in the New York Times), Kirkpatrick does pull a number of mean and unethical stunts.

AAAHHHH!!!
I have just snapped my neck.
Rather I was snapping it as I often do but this time it was more noisy and less pleasant.
911 Anyone?

Hope the neck is feeling better.
