Beschreibung

By examining Infinite Jest, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and The Pale King, Baskin approaches David Foster Wallace not only as a fiction writer but also as a cultural critic and a moral philosopher whose formal innovations were intended as "therapies" for the pervasive diseases of our time.
