GenX "Genius" and P mention, too

[jporter]

Michiko Kakutani's review of _A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius_ by
Dace Eggers, in today's NY Times, is probably the most glowing NYT book
review I have ever read.

Here's the P. ref:

"It's the type of book David Foster Wallace, Frank McCourt and Tom Wolfe
might have written together if Mr. Wallace had never heard of Thomas
Pynchon, if Mr. McCourt didn't grow up poor in Ireland but middle class
Chicago, if Tom Wolfe weren't the sort of writer who wears white suits and
ice-cream colored shirts but were a 20-something slacker with a taste for
shorts and t-shirts and lots of post-modern pyrotechnics."

This one sounds good.
