Dave Eggers' wrist doesn't get much rest, not with his do-it-all mentality of late: he's been composing prose, handshaking at sundry appearances, and signing copy upon copy. Eggers heads to Broadway today for a trio currently found on the just-released shelf: Zeitoun, his incredible nonfiction chronicle about the eponymous Syrian-American family and the patriarch who disappears in Katrina's aftermath; The Wild Things, a novelization of Spike Jonze's crackerjack translation of the Maurice Sendak picture book; and McSweeney's, No. 33: The San Francisco Panorama, a branded newspaper that features noteworthy contributions from Chris Ware, Dan Clowes, Art Spiegelman, George Saunders, and nearly 150 others.
