Here's a fawning profile of The Believer's Vendela Vida (a.k.a. Mrs. Dave Eggers), courtesy of the SF Gate. Given The Believer's anti-snark stance, it's not entirely surprising that the reporter would avoid that tone, but THIS is borderline ass-kissing: "Vida is a part of a coterie of writers — Heidi Julavits, Dave Eggers and Michael Chabon, to name a few — who are young, gifted and both blessed and cursed. While they are admired for their work and for leading a renaissance of literature, publishing and philanthropy in San Francisco, they are also major snark targets, annoying others for seeming to have so much brilliance, youth and charm."
Vendela Vida floats amid S.F. literati but keeps feet, attitude firmly planted [SF Gate via LasagnaFarm]
