rraleigh on February 11, 2010 at 11:20amrraleigh liked and commented on A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius on getglue.comTip-top on the list of books with self-describing titles. Eggers takes the funny, self-referential spirit of the McSweeney's world and manages to give it some some serious meat for an extended run. This would fall flat were it merely a postmodernist exercise, but it turns out be very substantial, which gives the self referential humor some room to operate.
