David Foster Wallace

Author

David Foster Wallace was an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist who is one of the most influential American writers of the late twentieth century. Born in 1962, he is best known for his monumental novel Infinite Jest and his brilliant, genre-redefining essays. Brief Interviews With Hideous Men is a short story collection... — dark, innovative, technically dazzling fiction that explores the nature of consciousness, loneliness, and human connection. Wallace's prose is characterised by its intellectual brilliance, its formal experimentation, and its deep empathy. Wallace died in 2008. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers some of the most brilliant, innovative American fiction of the past fifty years — writing that expanded what literature could do.
