In his startling and singular short story collection, David Foster
Wallace nudges at the boundaries of fiction with inimitable wit and
seductive intelligence. Among the stories are 'The Depressed
Person', a dazzling and blackly humorous portrayal of a woman's
mental state; 'Adult World', which reveals a woman's agonised
consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with her
husband; and 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men', a dark, hilarious
series of portraits of men whose fear of women renders them
grotesque. Wallace's stories present a world where the bizarre and
the banal are interwoven and where hideous men appear in many
different guises. Thought-provoking and playful, this collection
confirms David Foster Wallace as one of the most imaginative young
writers around. Wallace delights in leftfield observation, mining
the ironic, the surprising and the illuminating from every
situation. His new collection will delight his growing number of
fans, and provide a perfect introduction for new readers.
