Here’s a poorly-written article on an interesting subject: why Dave Eggers wants to avoid the perception that, in achieving literary stardom, he’s sold out, and why, in a larger sense, selling out is so detested by certain people. As the article notes, the microscopic (10,000 copies) print run of Eggers’s new novel, “You Shall Know Our Velocity,” is initially only available via his Web site, and then the book will only be sold in certain independent bookstores.
