Collected for the first time in one edition, The Museum of Rain: And Seven More features eight stories centered around one family, the Mahoneys. Each story focusses on a different family member - a curmudgeonly uncle, a whale-watcher, a sports beat reporter, teenagers in crisis, a woman hiding behind her job - and brings us lyrical, often humorous, always poignant reflections on humanity and the world we occupy.PRAISE FOR DAVE EGGERS: 'Eggers writes with a narrative sure-footedness' PHILIP PULLMAN 'Prescient, important and enjoyable' Guardian 'Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision' Observer 'Dave Eggers has become J.
