Dave Eggers and Chris Ware

Though you won’t be a protagonist or an antagonist for that matter in Dave Eggers’s next novel, you’ll still have an opportunity to be immortalized as a character in his next book. That is if the price is right. For the next 3 weeks, auctions will be held on eBay offering bidders a chance be part of an upcoming work from 30 plus different writers and graphic novelists. Chris Ware, Rick Moody, and Jenji Kohan, creator of “Weeds” will also be participating. All proceeds from the auction will benefit First Amendment Project, a nonprofit organization that offers legal council to individuals that have been “sued because they have written or spoken about matters of public concern.” The first set of auctions end on December 6th, with the next batch starting this Friday.
