PositiveHouston Chronicle\"In A Hologram for the King, Eggers returns to his strength: quick-to-the-point fiction ... In this novel, he\'s as interested in explaining the grim facts of a struggling economy as he is in telling a story of a failing man reaching to recover his self-respect. Eggers does well on both counts, even if Alan Clay isn\'t the icon that Willy Loman has been.\
Richard Russo
PositiveThe Houston ChronicleSome Russo fans will miss the blue-collar heroes who populate the best of his novels, such as Nobody's Fool and The Risk Pool, which describe working-class lives with straight-on honesty and an absence of condescension. Others may miss the drop-the-book laughs you can experience from reading his university satire, Straight Man. But they'll enjoy the stories in Trajectory, and Russo newcomers will begin to scope out why he's a Pulitzer Prize winner.
