Remote

Noah talks to author David Shields about women who wear glasses and the erotic appeal such women hold for Shields. Shields reads passages from his book "Remote" on this subject. He says glasses say to him that the woman is so beautiful, so perfect that she can risk covering up that beauty. He also fantasizes about the moment a when a woman with glasses removes them before going to bed; a moment the stranger can only imagine.
