**From the bestselling author of The Circle--a taut, richly layered,
and elegiac novel that takes us around the world to show how one man
fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face
of the global economy's gale-force winds.

**"An outstanding achievement in Eggers's already impressive career, and
an essential read." --San Francisco Chronicle
**
In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred
America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave
off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do
something great. A novel that's a powerful evocation of our contemporary
moment--and a moving story of how we got here.
