Review:

"ZEITOUN is an old-fashioned journalistic yarn, an oral history rendered in literary form that seeks both to inspire and outrage its readers. Entirely free of authorial asides, its innovative quality lies in its thoroughgoing rejection of the 'me journalism' that has dominated reporting for three decades or more... At first, as a reader, I felt some resistance to this tactic -- could the Zeitouns possibly be as wholesome and all-American as Eggers depicts them? -- but the sheer momentum, emotional force and imagistic power of the narrative finally sweep such objections away."

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon, 07/16/2009

Review:

"Anybody who's ever been thrown by Eggers' ego as a writer...will be impressed by the plainness of his storytelling in ZEITOUN. It's Abdulrahman, not Eggers, who is important here, and Eggers reveals a sweet, modest and poetic side as a writer that is very appealing....ZEITOUN is a warm, exciting and entirely fresh way of experiencing Hurricane Katrina."

Dan Baum, San Francisco Chronicle, 07/19/2009
