The David Foster Wallace Reader

David Foster Wallace

A great thick hunk of wood and ink weighing in at 962g (a shade heavier than DFW’s best known work Infinite Jest), comprises a selection of the late writer’s greatest hits, including short stories, novel excerpts, essays, and teaching materials, and showcases his vast range, phenomenal grammatical skill and devastating beauty with language.

Seemingly an expert in everything, the American’s work encompasses many dark themes and is difficult to compartmentalise into any specific genre.
