In David Foster Wallace: Fiction and Form, David Hering analyses
the structures of David Foster Wallace's fiction, from his debut
The Broom of the System to his final unfinished novel The Pale
King. Incorporating extensive analysis of Wallace's drafts, notes
and letters, and taking account of the rapidly expanding field of
Wallace scholarship, this book argues that the form of Wallace's
fiction is always inextricably bound up within an ongoing conflict
between the monologic and the dialogic, one strongly connected with
Wallace's sense of his own authorial presence and identity in the
work. Hering suggests that this conflict occurs at the level of
both subject and composition, analysing the importance of a number
of provocative structural and critical contexts - ghostliness,
institutionality, reflection - to the fiction while describing how
this argument is also visible within the development of Wallace's
manuscripts, comparing early drafts with published material to
offer a career-long framework of the construction of Wallace's
fiction. The final chapter offers an unprecedentedly detailed
analysis of the troubled, decade-long construction of the work that
became The Pale King.
