"Of the twelve books David Foster Wallace published both during his lifetime and posthumously, only three were novels. Nevertheless, Wallace always thought of himself primarily as a novelis…t. From his college years at Amherst, when he wrote his first novel as part of a creative honors thesis, to his final days, Wallace was buried in a novel project, which he often referred to as 'the Long Thing.' Meanwhile, the short stories and journalistic assignments he worked on during those years he characterized as 'playing hooky from a certain Larger Thing.' Wallace was also a specific kind of novelist, devoted to producing a specific kind of novel, namely the omnivorous, culture-consuming 'encyclopedic' novel, as described in 1976 by Edward Mendelson in a ground-breaking essay on Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. [] DAVID FOSTER WALLACE AND "THE LONG THING" is a state-of-the art guide through Wallace's three major works, including the generation-defining Infinite Jest. These essays provide fresh new readings of each of Wallace's novels as well as thematic essays that trace out patterns and connections across the three works. Most importantly, the collection includes six chapters on Wallace's unfinished novel, The Pale King, which will prove to be foundational for future scholars of this important text." [publisher copy] "If you are obsessed with David Foster Wallace's novels, or even if you are only a causal reader (is there such a thing?), you will want to consult the essays in this volume. At a moment when the consensus about Wallace is congealing prematurely around a handful of canonical themes--Infinite Jest is about addiction, Pale King is about boredom, Wallace's fiction in general aspires to escape the gravitational pull of postmodern irony, and so on, you know the drill--these essays open up other perspectives and fresh alternatives. Even when they revisit the canonical motifs of Wallace criticism, they succeed in casting a bracingly estranging light on tried-and-true themes. Read these essays and don't settle for the same old same old!"--Brian McHale. "A new collection of essays, edited by the pioneering Wallace scholar Marshall Boswell, is dedicated to the literary form most conspicuously suited to a writer intent on communicating entire informational universes within and without. . . The essays here reflect the polymathic scope of Wallace's engagement with the world and the world of ideas. . . A principal value of this collection is to gather early critical accounts of an encyclopedic novel destined to refine our view of Wallace's achievement. . . As another prominent Wallace scholar, Stephen J. Burn, puts it here, we are still 'at the prototype phase of The Pale King criticism. . . it is only when we start to disentangle what Wallace originally planned from the published text. . . that we can begin the critical project of understanding The Pale King in earnest."--Times Literary Supplement. "The book succeeds because the essays are not only substantial and provocative, but also because they are, like Wallace's novels, in conversation with each other. It will lead the conversation about Wallace in exciting new directions."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
