When young intern David Foster Wallace is unwillingly sent to work at the IRS Regional Inspection Center, he is thrust into a mechanical, Kafkaesque world of long corridors, reports, declarations, and endless, grueling labor. But it only seems that way at first glance, as the employees are very strange, their abilities often defy rational explanation, phantoms can appear to the inspectors in moments of exhaustion, and a conspiracy is brewing deep within the organization that could destroy the last vestiges of humanity in this already unpleasant job.

The Pale King was left unfinished due to the writer's untimely death, but it is a fascinating, unexpected, and completely fearless text, on a par with Infinite Jest and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. A unique style, a gallery of truly unusual and unique characters, questions about the meaning of human life and the value of work in society, characteristic complexity and humor - all this is the latest book by David Foster Wallace.
