The Gatekeeper: A MemoirOften scathingly funny, frequently tender, and always completely engaging, The Gatekeeper is Terry Eagleton's memoirs, his deep etched portraits of those who influenced him, either by example or by contrast: his father, headmasters, priests, and Cambridge dons. He was a shy, bookish, asthmatic boy keenly aware of social inferiority yet determined to make his intellectual way. The Gatekeeper mixes the soberly serious with the downright hilarious,

Often scathingly funny, frequently tender, and always completely engaging, The Gatekeeper is Terry Eagleton's memoirs, his deep-etched portraits of those who influenced him, either by example or by contrast: his father, headmasters, priests, and Cambridge dons. He was a shy, bookish, asthmatic boy keenly aware of social inferiority yet determined to make his intellectual way. The Gatekeeper mixes the soberly serious with the downright hilarious, skewer-sharp satire with unashamed fondness, the personal with the political. Most of it all it reveals a young man learning to reconcile oppositions: a double-edged portrait of the intellectual as a young man.

so uncomfortable
Size: 9, Color: Champagne
These shoes are cute but UNCOMFORTABLE. The toe thong makes them impossible to wear. I wore them for 5 minutes just trying them on and my feet hurt as I’m writing this. Couldn’t recommend less. Plus, the holes that the strap fits through aren’t lined up properly and are difficult to poke through. Felt like I got the made in china version.

Cute but at what cost.
Size: 7.5, Color: Champagne
This is probably now the cutest pair of heels I own. But they are not comfortable by any means.

Chic and surprisingly comfortable
Size: 7.5, Color: Champagne
These sandals are gorgeous! The style is sleek and elegant, perfect for both casual and dressy outfits. I was worried they might be uncomfortable, but they’re easier to walk in than I expected and don’t hurt my feet after wearing them for hours. The quality feels great and they definitely look more expensive than they are. Highly recommend if you want a stylish heel that you can actually wear.
