This book breaks new ground by showing that the work of David
Foster Wallace originates from and functions in the space between
philosophy and literature. Philosophy is not a mere supplement to
or decoration of his writing, nor does he use literature to
illustrate pre-established philosophical truths. Rather, for
Wallace, philosophy and literature are intertwined ways of
experiencing and expressing the world that emerge from and amplify
each other. The book does not advance a fixed or homogenous
interpretation of Wallace’s oeuvre but instead offers an
investigative approach that allows for a variety of readings. The
volume features fourteen new essays by prominent and promising
Wallace scholars, divided into three parts: one on general aspects
of Wallace’s oeuvre – such as his aesthetics, form, and
engagement with performance – and two parts with thematic
focuses, namely ‘Consciousness, Self, and Others’ and
‘Embodiment, Gender, and Sexuality’. -- .
