...Rajabpour's observation on Iranian tastes would certainly help explain the popularity in Iran of Chris de Burgh, the Irish balladeer best remembered for his early '80s saccharine pop hit "Lady in Red". The pop mogul has been hosting De Burgh in Iran this past week, and a concert tour planned for the fall would make the British singer the first Western pop star to perform in Iran since 1979.

A central mystery also begins to take shape through many of the vignettes. With explicit overtones of the Leopold and Loeb murder case, the disappearance of a dopey-looking kid becomes the running theme of the book. Then, as if he didn't set enough of a challenge for himself, Clowes will often carry some event or object over from one vignette to the next...
