The Circle

A Note About the Author
Dave Eggers grew up near Chicago and graduated from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. He is the founder of McSweeney’s, an independent publishing house
in San Francisco that produces books, a quarterly journal of new writing (McSweeney’s
Quarterly Concern), and a monthly magazine, The Believer. McSweeney’s publishes Voice of
Witness, a nonpro t book series that uses oral history to illuminate human rights crises
around the world. In 2002, he cofounded 826 Valencia, a nonpro t youth writing and
tutoring center in San Francisco’s Mission District. Sister centers have since opened in
seven other American cities under the umbrella of 826 National, and like-minded centers
have opened in Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Birmingham, Alabama,
among other locations. His work has been nominated for the National Book Award, the
Pulitzer Prize, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and has won the Dayton
Literary Peace Prize, France’s Prix Médicis, Germany’s Albatross Prize, the National
Magazine Award, and the American Book Award. Eggers lives in Northern California with
his family.
