About This Item
New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2014. Deluxe signed limited edition of this compilation of Foster Wallace's work. Octavo, original boards. Signed by artist Karen Green, the widow of Foster Wallace. The limited edition contains one piece of the original painting, "signed on verso with the artist's fingerprint." Fine in a fine slipcase. The David Foster Wallace Reader is a compilation from one of the most original writers of our age, featuring selections of his brilliant fiction and nonfiction. For new readers, this is an accessible introduction to the pleasures of reading Wallace; for fans, a must-have best-of; and for teachers, an invaluable tool. Astounding chapters from the novels The Broom of the System, Infinite Jest, and The Pale King are here, along with legendary stories including "The Depressed Person," "Good Old Neon," and his previously uncollected first story. This collection also features Wallace's essays delving into luxury ("A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again"), morality ("Consider the Lobster"), sports ("Roger Federer Both Flesh and Not"), literature, and the deep paradoxes of American life, plus reading lists from his life as a teacher.
