Funny that you should use 'overblown', since that is precisely the word  used 
to describe the equivalence (which I hold to be _analytic_) between:

"And then there is Milesâ??s novel (â??It sort of devolves into a Robbe-Grillet 
 
thingâ??), entitled The Day after Yesterday, which, as Maya points out, is
