Public Apology to Dave Eggers
Dear Mr. Eggers,
I'm 124 pages into A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which, despite my wife's earnest recommendation, I've resisted reading, believing it to probably be the kind of ironic, self-aware, hip-for-hip's-sake kind of book that makes my skin crawl. So far it is none of those things. It is, however, fucking brilliant and, well, heartbreaking. Sorry to have been so wrong, but the title just made it seem like it had to be super-ironic. I guess I judged the book by its cover, which they tell me you're not really supposed to do.
