Dave Eggers talks about his latest book. I’m glad he’s living in San Francisco. Seth took me to the Pirate Supply Store a while back. There were these extremely McSweeneyesque-style signs all over the place – on lard, and scurvy, and the use of eyeglasses. I’d be a bit afraid if anyone else was aping Eggers quite that precisely. Turns out it’s Eggers and the McSweeney’s Permanent Staff all along, and just a the flimsy front for his children’s writing lab out the back. Apparently it’s all funded from the pirate lard sales.
