What a farce!
Has anyone else struggled to read an Eggers book from cover to cover? "A Heartbreaking Work" is fine but you can tell it was heavily edited by Simon & Schuster. His McSweeney's works tend to be a chore to slog through.
Ummm...wouldn't it make more sense for him to learn...Ukrainain?... since that is the language they speak in the...Ukraine...
