  "You Shall Know Our Velocity" by Dave Eggers - Salon
All I know is, if a book of mine ever got a paperback sale of $1.4 million and a few million more for the movie rights, I wouldn't be bellyaching about the way the press covered it, as Eggers so famously does.
Will Chmlielewski, the hero and narrator of "You Shall Know Our Velocity," is seeking relief for his head, which, on the inside, has been badly affected by the death of a friend and, on the outside, has been beaten to a pulp by a band of toughs.
The plot of "You Shall Know Our Velocity" is best recounted swiftly, since it hinges on motion and speed.

 You Shall Know Our Velocity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This addition calls into question the reliability of the narrator, and the truth of the story being told.
Therefore, depending on which edition is read, You Shall Know Our Velocity can be viewed as two different stories.
Both editions are largely narrated by Will, and his perspective is retained in the actual text of the story in the paperback.

What saves the book is the sometimes thrilling ideas with which Eggers imbues his writing (e.g., the Jumping people, the librarian in his head); he's clearly a talented writer.
Overall, "You Shall Know Our Velocity" is a worthy read, and one that will likely leave you wondering about the potential gems with which Eggers will provide us in the future.
Therein lies our ability to feel their sadness and longing, because it's your longing as well.
