The acclaimed New York Times-bestselling biography and "emotionally
detailed portrait of the artist as a young man" (Michiko Kakutani,
The New York Times) In the first biography of the iconic David
Foster Wallace, D.T. Max paints the portrait of a man,
self-conscious, obsessive and struggling to find meaning. If
Wallace was right when he declared he was "frightfully and
thoroughly conventional," it is only because over the course of his
short life and stunning career, he wrestled intimately and
relentlessly with the fundamental anxiety of being human. In his
characteristic lucid and quick-witted style, Max untangles
Wallace's anxious sense of self, his volatile and sometimes abusive
connection with women, and above all, his fraught relationship with
fiction as he emerges with his masterpiece Infinite Jest. Written
with the cooperation of Wallace's family and friends and with
access to hundreds of unpublished letters, manuscripts and
journals, this captivating biography unveils the life of the
profoundly complicated man who gave voice to what we thought we
could not say.
