re over-sized sunglasses - I've seen some real stunners in large sun glasses. Once said glasses have been removed, however, sometimes what you see can been somewhat frightening.
Go figure.
re: Eggers - I mostly agree, but I do feel that there is some really good stuff here and there in "…Staggering Genius" (the only thing even worth the time). But, yes, its also an example of how it hurts to be too consciously clever.
