: An Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng, A Novel by Dave Eggers?

No ordinary days exist for a Paulo Coelho character - the battle between Good and Evil is a daily and commonplace occurrence. So commonplace, in fact, that the Brazilian writer has dedicated ten books to the pursuit of it. The Devil and Miss Prym, his latest U.S. release, is the third book in a loosely-linked trilogy, preceded by By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, and Veronika Decides To Die. All three novels feature a young woman at the figurative and literal crossroads of Good and Evil, Life and Death, Joy and Despair. Even their subtitles (A Novel of Forgiveness, A Novel of Redemption, and A Novel of Temptation respectively) tell you how very seriously Coelho feels about the great struggles of life.

Part of its charm, or rather intrigue, is that renowned architect Shigeru Ban designed a Nomadic Museum to house , making him the first to take on such and endeavor. The result is a 45,000 sq ft (that's totally like the same size as our 6th floor walkup apartment!) temporary structure, composed of mostly recyclable materials. The structure will be taken apart and reconstructed at different ports around the globe.
