An outstanding master of the form, David Foster Wallace was recognized during his lifetime as the most important writer of his generation, and each new book only confirmed this status Oblivion is Wallace's latest collection of short stories, the most complex, the most provocative and unusual. Here, a bewildered student doesn't notice how the teacher at the blackboard starts to go crazy, the staff of a prestigious magazine tries to write a decent article about a fashionable artist who creates sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way, and a husband tries to politely explain to his wife that she may be suffering from hallucinations. Against the backdrop of all these strange and often awkward situations, David Foster Wallace creates entire worlds worthy of multi-page novels, at once surreal and painfully real.
