Did you read her book? Her point is not that Eggers plagiarized her wholesale, rather that the themes, characters, and plot are uncannily similar to those of her book. But his work receives buzz and hers is passed over. Somehow a hyperbolized book of fiction written by a famous white man is worthy of attention and lofty comparisons while a memoir by a woman who experienced 'boy kings' firsthand, dealing with identical themes, is overlooked.
