Izzy finds something strangely evocative about the courtroom appearance of Richard Leigh, the novelist who just lost his plagiarism lawsuit against The Da Vinci Code’s Dan Brown. The combination of hitman jacket, trailer-park hair, and cowboy ‘stache and sideburns visually express world-weary defeat. (Note the continuity between the jacket collar and his cragged face.)
Who knew aviators could reflect such sadness?
His aviators hid his sadness and his past that were so fastidiously carved into his tired and dying face. May the Goddess reward his precious soul wherever it is now. I miss you Richard.
