He doesn t hold back he gives many of the specifics, the details left out of local paper obituaries. After that, he and Toph head out west to San Francisco, Calif. to live. The idea is that Eggers will get a job working in graphical design while taking care of Toph. Part of the book is a guide on how to rear children when put in a difficult situation. But, in its entirety, it is a touching tale of friendship, brotherhood and all that is wholesome about society.
Eggers is brutally honest with each reader.
He lays everything out there - all prettied up on that fine silver platter that is his gift of prose. There are 32 pieces in total. He had some run in with the law and when approached by the Might staff, agreed to participate in his own death. This was the type of story that Might thrived on it was unusual, inherently counter-culture and often, a big inside joke for the editors where they could sit back and laugh at all the people who bought in. Other times, the message was unabashedly pro youth sometimes pushing for something simply because it was done by a person under 30.
