Baghdad, Eggers, Moby
Music superstar Moby explains how his tunes became ubiquitous, and why he doesn’t equate selling them to advertisers with selling his soul. Dave Eggers talks to Kurt Andersen about his new book What is The What. Eggers became the ghost-writer for Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee from Sudan. And we’ll talk to a graphic novelist who turned a news item about the Baghdad zoo at the start of the war into a contemporary Animal Farm.
