David F. Wallace Book order

David Foster Wallace brought surprising turns to nearly everything he touched: novels, journalism, vacations. His life was an information hunt, collecting the hows and whys. He wanted to write "stuff about what it feels like to live. Instead of being a relief from what it feels like to live." Readers curled up in the nooks and clearings of his style: his comedy, his brilliance, his humaneness. His works offer a unique feel for what it is like to be alive in the contemporary world.
