“I really have infinite faith in my fellow human being to do the right thing. If people listen, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and assume the best of each other, all else will fall in line. We want, in our heart of hearts, to do the right thing.
It’s just that sometimes our fears and suspicions overtake us. Which makes empathy necessary. Empathy leads to more ethical and moral behavior.”
–Dave Eggers, in the acknowledgements of his latest nonfiction and this year’s One City One Book selection, Zeitoun.
Tonight, he’ll be at the San Francisco Main Library on talk about Zeitoun in a live interview with Beth Lisick. Should be a great event, so I am bummed I’ll have to miss it due to my prior engagement to SHARKTOBER FEST!
