Best known for his masterpiece Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace
re-invented fiction and non-fiction for a generation with his
groundbreaking and original work. Wallace's desire to blend formal
innovation and self-reflexivity with the communicative and
restorative function of literature resulted in works that appeal as
much to a reader's intellect as they do emotion. As such, few
writers in recent memory have quite matched his work's intense
critical and popular impact. The essays in this Companion, written
by top Wallace scholars, offer a historical and cultural context
for grasping Wallace's significance, provide rigorous individual
readings of each of his major works, whether story collections,
non-fiction, or novels, and address the key themes and concerns of
these works, including aesthetics, politics, religion and
spirituality, race, and post-humanism. This wide-ranging volume is
a necessary resource for understanding an author now widely
regarded as one of the most influential and important of his time.
