David Foster Wallace is a writer for The New Yorker and other magazines. This is a collection of some of his articles. Many are expanded from their original form.
Reading Wallace is kind of like being in on someone' stream-of-consciousness. Footnotes, flow chart, inserted editorial comments - it *can* be very confusing but it is also very entertaining. I liked and could relate to some essays more than others, but everyone will probably feel that way.
I really enjoyed the book. I really felt like I was getting in to Wallace's mind. He actually is a *character* in this book. Definitely recommend for a good read and a break from the usual.
