What Is the What writes: "Over the course of many years, Dave and I have collaborated to tell my story... I told [him] what I knew and what I could remember, and from that material he created this work of art." The book is typical of Eggers' style: blending non-fictional and fictional elements into a non-fiction novel or memoir. By classifying the book a novel, Eggers says, he freed himself to re-create conversations, streamline complex relationships, add relevant detail and manipulate time and space in helpful ways—all while maintaining the essential truthfulness of the storytelling. However, not all critics were impressed. Lee Siegel sees
Irrational number the coefficients formula_7 are integers and formula_8. Any rational root of this polynomial equation must be of the form "r" /"s", where "r" is a divisor of "a" and "s" is a divisor of "a". If a real root formula_9 of a polynomial formula_10 is not among these finitely many possibilities, it must be an irrational algebraic number. An exemplary proof for the existence of such algebraic irrationals is by showing that "x" = (2 + 1) is an irrational root of a polynomial with integer coefficients: it satisfies ("x" − 1) = 2 and hence "x" − 2"x" −
