You know, I (most of the time) can't stand it when people write literary biographies about people they never knew. You can't take someone elses life and write it in a way as if you understand coughdaveeggerswhatisthewhatcough but when Sufjan takes real people he never knew and writes songs, man, they just...there isn't a word for this. They're just great, moving, full of feeling in this distant, warm, loving, light way.
blueofthesky, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i couldn't help but point out that What is the What was written as a FICTIONAL account, a novel loosely based on the events that happened in someone else's life- and it never claims to be otherwise. i think that eggers wrote an incredible book and really helped to raise awareness concerning an issue that is largely ignored

This is why Sufjan is a genius.
