Jonathan Safran Who?
It seems that the reach of literary wunderjew Jonathan Safran Foer only goes so far:
Girl: I'm looking for a name of book that has the word "eliminate" in it.
Store guy: Okay. Let me see. Hmm...It doesn't look like anything came up in the search.
Girl: I know that's the word! I know it is. I really need this book!
Store guy: Okay. I'll try and search again.
Girl: It's "eliminate" with an I, not an E.
Store guy: Oh, you mean illuminate?
At least this time it wasn't Foer's beloved Bright Eyes who had no idea who he was.
Not Everything, Mr. Foer. Not Everything. [Overheard in NY]
