«A Hologram for the King» is the contemporary fiction novel by Dave Eggers, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
A ruined American businessman travels from a recession-hit United States to a booming Saudi city to attempt one last deal that would let him settle debts, avoid foreclosure, and pay for his daughter's college. The novel interweaves that personal and family struggle with a portrait of the globalized economy.
The novel, originally published in 2012, was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction that same year.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and book clubs interested in the economic crisis, globalization, and individual disillusionment.
