 Paul Eggers is the author of Saviors, published by
Harcourt Brace in January, 1999. Of this book, Jane Smiley wrote in the San Francisco
Chronicle: "Saviors does beautifully exactly what a novel is best equipped to do,
which is to show something large and true with tools that are detailed and
specific...Eggers is a first novelist of rare taste and intelligence as well as rare
experience." His short-fiction collection, How the Water Feels, is
forthcoming from Southern Methodist University Press (2002). Paul Eggers has also
published short fiction in American Literary Review, Northwest Review, Quarterly
West, Granta, and other magazines. His creative nonfiction appears in Southern
