In 'A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again,' David Foster Wallace offers an irreverent and hilarious radiography of American culture at the end of the millennium. Through essays and articles written in the 1990s, Wallace explores television subcultures, elite sports, life in the Midwest, and luxury tourism in the Caribbean. With a perspective that mixes familiarity, astonishment, and mordacity, the author analyzes these phenomena, combining a dazzling analytical capacity with a corrosive satirical vision and a hallucinatory narrative imagination. This book is a guide to the end of the millennium written jointly by Nathanael West and Don DeLillo.
David Foster Wallace was an American writer and professor who published novels, short stories, and essays. He is widely known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which Time magazine named one of the 100 best English-language novels published from 1923 to 2005. In 2008, David Ulin wrote for the Los Angeles Times that Wallace was "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last twenty years".
