From Dave Eggers, best-selling author of "The Circle, "a tour de force of dialog
ue and dark humor, coursing emotions and tight control." Your Fathers, Where Are
They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? "is the formally daring, brillian
tly executed story of one man struggling to make sense of his country, seeking s
olutions the only way he knows how. What do you do when you re full of questions
: what happened to missions to the moon? Why spend a trillion dollars on war? Wh
ere did America go wrong? If you re Thomas, a young man nursing migraines and a
lack of direction, this calls for drastic action. To find some answers, Thomas k
idnaps a NASA astronaut and brings him to an abandoned military base on the edge
of the California coast. Then the questioning begins.
