An instant classic of American sportswriting--the tennis essays of
David Foster Wallace, "the best mind of his generation" (A. O.
Scott) and "the best tennis-writer of all time" (New York Times)
Gathered for the first time in a deluxe collector's edition, here
are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five
tour-de-force pieces written with a competitor's insight and a
fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Wallace brings his dazzling literary
magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly
genius of Roger Federer; offers a wickedly witty disection of Tracy
Austin's memoir; considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a
supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame; resists the
crush of commerce at the U.S. Open; and recalls his own career as a
"near-great" junior player. Whiting Award-winning writer John
Jeremiah Sullivan provides an introduction.
