You Shall Know Our Velocity

An "entertaining and profoundly original" (San Francisco Chronicle) moving and hilarious tale of two friends who fly around the world trying to give away a lot of money and free themselves from a profound loss. - From the bestselling author of The Circle.

"Nobody writes better than Dave Eggers about young men who aspire to be, at the same time, authentic and sincere." --The New York Times Book Review

"You Shall Know Our Velocity! is the work of a wildly talented writer.... Like Kerouac's book, Eggers's could inspire a generation as much as it documents it." --LA Weekly
