This collection will enthrall DFW fans, and provides a perfect introduction for new readers. Wallace delights in leftfield observation, mining the absurd, the surprising, and the illuminating from every situation. Among the stories are 'The Depressed Person.
Wallace's stories present a world where the bizarre and the banal are interwoven and where hideous men appear in many guises. Among the stories are 'The Depressed Person,' a dazzling and blackly humorous portrayal of a woman's mental state 'Adult World,' which reveals a woman's agonized consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with her husband and 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men,' a dark, hilarious series of imagined interviews with men on the subject of their relations with women. In this thought-provoking and playful short story collection, David Foster Wallace nudges at the boundaries of fiction with inimitable wit and seductive intelligence.
