From The Publisher:
These widely acclaimed essays from the author of Infinite Jest - on television, tennis, cruise ships, and more - established David Foster Wallace as one of the preeminent essayists of his generation.
In this exuberantly praised book - a collection of seven pieces on subjects ranging from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David 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 readers of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest.

One of the most incredible vocabulary filled books I've ever read! The state Fair, tennis, and the cruise ship stories were my favorites.
DFW was a genius, with incredible insight into human relations and society.
