A collection of insightful and uproariously funny non-fiction by the bestselling author of INFINITE JEST - one of the most acclaimed and adventurous writers of our time. A SUPPOSEDLY FUN THING... brings together Wallace's musings on a wide range of topics, from his early days as a nationally ranked tennis player to his trip on a commercial cruiseliner. In each of these essays, Wallace's observations are as keen as they are funny.
Filled with hilarious details and invigorating analyses, these essays brilliantly expose the fault line in American culture - and once again reveal David Foster Wallace's extraordinary talent and gargantuan intellect.
David Foster Wallace is the author of the novels Infinite Jest and The Broom of the System, the story collections Girl with Curious Hair and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and the essay collections A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again and Consider the Lobster. His writings have appeared in Esquire, Harper's, the New Republic, New Yorker, Paris Review and other magazines. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, the Lannan Award for Fiction, the Paris Review's Aga Khan Prize and John Train Prize for Humour, and the O. Henry Award. David Foster Wallace died in 2008.
