Book Review of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


A heartbreaking work in staggering need of some editing. Apparently, Eggers thinks that just because he self-reflexively points out his shortcomings, it covers up for them. It doesn't. There is a compelling story here, but it's covered up by self-affacing gobbledegook.
