...pitch-perfect dialogue; the way his prose delicately captures the bumblebee blundering of Will's thoughts (he compares the workings of his brain to "a toddler in a room full of new guests"); and the stream-water clarity of his descriptions (with the sentence "His socks were white and Van Horned up around his calves," a reference to chronically uncool NBA player Keith Van Horn, Eggers may have enriched the English language by a verb). At their best, Will and Hand, like Vladimir and Estragon, have genuine existential pathos; at their worst they're a little jejune, a pair...

What do you miss when you're adrift on a merciless ocean? "Mostly TV," admits Californian RICHARD VAN PHAM, 62, who says he was stuck in a boat for nearly four months on the Pacific's high seas. Pham says a voyage planned as a three-day trip to Santa Catalina Island went scarily wrong when a hook attached to his mast snapped and his radio went dead. He says he then floated for 2,500 miles, living at first on a two-month supply of rice, beans, tomatoes and water, then on rainwater, tuna and turtles, until...
