My first Eggers book & the symbolism was much too heavy-handed for me. The American middle class is an impotent middle-aged guy waiting in a tent in a desert to sell a phantom product while worrying about selling his house & putting his kid through college. In places the writing sparkles, but I just didn't care about the protagonist nor understand why attractive women were throwing themselves at him.
