Popis

In his startling and singular new short story collection, David
Foster Wallace nudges at the boundaries of fiction with inimitable
wit and seductive intelligence. 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
agonised consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with
her husband; and 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men', a dark,
hilarious series of portraits of men whose fear of women renders
them grotesque. Wallace's stories present a world where the bizarre
and the banal are interwoven and where hideous men appear in many
different guises. Thought-provoking and playful, this collection
confirms David Foster Wallace as one of the most imaginative young
writers around. Wallace delights in leftfield observation, mining
the ironic, the surprising and the illuminating from every
situation. His new collection will delight his growing number of
fans, and provide a perfect introduction for new readers.
