From the supplier: David Foster Wallace differs from most contemporary writers in that he does not use post-structuralist literary devices for the sake of using post-structuralist literary devices. Like Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophical pondering, which greatly influenced Wallace, he plays theoretical games in order to address real problems. Neither Wittgenstein nor Wallace takes anything for granted, but their cynicism is not the end, but the means to the end, unlike many contemporary authors and philosophers.

Excerpt: Nonfiction David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 September 12, 2008) was an American author of novels, essays, and short stories, and a professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California. He was widely known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which Time included in its All-Time 100 Greatest Novels list (covering the period 19232006). Los Angeles Times book editor David Ulin called Wallace "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last 20 years." Wallace was born in Ithaca, New York to James Donald Wallace and Sally Foster Wallace. In his early childhood, Wallace lived in Champaign, Illinois. In fourth grade, he moved to Urbana and attended Yankee Ridge school. As an adolescent, Wallace was a regionally ranked junior tennis player. He was "a rare combination of sporting and academic prowess. His was an omnivorous brain, able to ingest complex mathematics, logic and philosophy. Wallace was so uncomfortable among strangers that his shyness was its own defensive barrier." He attended his father's alma mater, Amherst College, and majored in English and philosophy, with a focus on modal logic and mathematics. His philosophy senior thesis on modal logic, titled Richard Taylor's 'Fatalism' and the Semantics of Physical Modality (described in James Ryerson's 2008 New York Times essay "Consider the Philosopher") was awarded the Gail Kennedy Memorial Prize. His other senior thesis, in English, would later become his first novel. Wallace graduated with summa cum laude honors for both theses in 1985, and in 1987 received a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from the University of Arizona. Wallace's father, James Wallace, having finished his graduate course work in philos...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=45368 ... Read more
