In this exuberantly praised book - a collection of seven pieces on subjects rang
ing from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of Davi
d Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard
a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner - David Foster Wallace brings to nonfiction the
same curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted re
aders of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest."
