In 2024, Dave Eggers' book 'The Eyes & The Impossible' won the prestigious Newbery Medal, an award celebrating the year's best children's book. Melanie Nolan, his editor, noted her surprise at the continuation of the story set in this beloved universe, with hints towards involving opossums in future narratives. Known for his memoir 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius', Eggers continues to engage readers through both innovative storytelling and a partnership with McSweeney's, which will soon release a special woodbound edition of his latest work.
"I was sure The Eyes & the Impossible was a once in a lifetime book," Eggers' editor, Melanie Nolan said in a statement. "So I was very, very happy to be proven wrong when Dave hinted that Johannes and Bertrand had more adventures in store, and that opossums might somehow be involved."
In 2024, The Eyes & The Impossible won the Newbery Medal for the year's outstanding children's book. Eggers is otherwise known for the fictionalized memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and such novels as What Is the What and A Hologram for King.
McSweeney's, the nonprofit publisher he helped found, will release a woodbound edition of The Eyes, The Fire, & The Avalanche Kingdom.
