Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a sick sense of humour?
What is John Updike's deal anyway? And who won the Adult Video
News' Female Performer of the Year Award the same year Gwyneth
Paltrow won her Oscar? David Foster Wallace answers these questions
and more in his new book of hilarious non-fiction. For this
collection, David Foster Wallace immerses himself in the three-ring
circus that is the presidential race in order to document one of
the most vicious campaigns in recent history. Later he strolls from
booth to booth at a lobster festival in Maine and risks life and
limb to get to the bottom of the lobster question. Then he wheedles
his way into an L.A. radio studio, armed with tubs of chicken, to
get the behind-the-scenes view of a conservative talkshow featuring
a host with an unnatural penchant for clothing that only looks good
on the radio. In what is sure to be a much-talked-about exploration
of distinctly modern subjects, one of the sharpest minds of our
time delves into some of life's most delicious topics.
