The David Foster Wallace Reader

David Foster Wallace was one of the most celebrated and visionary writers of the late 20th and early 21st century. He wrote prolifically across fiction and non-fiction, from genre-defining reportage to genre-breaking postmodern novels. And his influence is clearly visible in those who came after him - Zadie Smith, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, George Saunders...

The Reader collects the very best of his fiction and nonfiction, as well as previously unpublished work, setting them alongside specially commissioned critical contributions from twelve prominent authors and thinkers.
