David Foster Wallace, author of one of the best postmodernist novels, Infinite Jest, is equally admired by critics and readers for his outstanding reporting and essays. At their best, these works attest to Wallace's arsenal of talents: his ability to capture the physical and emotional essence of things in a few strokes; his wit, insight, and great intellectual curiosity; his eccentric yet light and inspired style; his ability to juxtapose the infinite and the insignificant and to leap from the mundane to the metaphysical with breathtaking speed. From television voyeurism to tennis, from a lobster-eating festival in Maine to the films of David Lynch, from Borges and Kafka to the dubious pleasure of traveling aboard a luxury cruise ship in the Caribbean, from an American view of Dostoevsky to an award ceremony for excellence in the pornographic film industry, Wallace infuses the essay genre with the same curiosity about themes, the same irony and linguistic ease that delighted readers of his legendary novel.
