Recensione:
This collection of ten tales provides ample proof of his virtuosity for the uninitiated... This is not a writer for the squeamish... but his satirical mastery of speech patterns and his eye for the grotesque can astonish. (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
Puncturing the veneer of power lies at the crux of this collection, and attention to detail illuminates the banal. Wallace's control of different voices is superb, given the individual style of each tale. (THE TIMES)
It is his prose that really sets him apart; sometimes eerily banal, at others so densely observed you're scared to blink, and making ordinary situations seem strangely disconnnected from reality. Cleverness and verbosity are additional key ingredients, and the effect is often brilliant. (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY)
A collection of stories as varied in length and theme as they are imaginative, and as downright bizarre as any collection by one author has a right to be. Truly funny surreal humour. (San Francisco Chronicle)

Descrizione libro Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -David Foster Wallace ist eine der auffälligsten Stimmen der jungen amerikanischen Literatur. Die Vielseitigkeit seiner Themen, sein Hang zum Grotesken, sein kreativer Umgang mit Sprache und seine scharfe Beobachtungsgabe machen diese Stories zu einer aufregenden Lektüre. Als Kind ist David Foster Wallace in Werbespots aufgetreten. Früh scheint er Sprache und Gestik des Fernseh- und Werbezeitalters registriert zu haben, und dieses Thema hat ihn nicht mehr losgelassen. Er stellt in seinen Stories die schrille Exotik und auch die Einsamkeit der Menschen in einer Mega-TV-Quiz-Show dar oder das verschwommene Realitätsbewusstsein von TV-Promis. Das unglaubliche Sprachtalent des Autors, seine tollkühnen Metaphern, sein Spaß beim Verballhornen und beim Schaffen neuer Bilder zeigt sich in allen Stories, ist geschickt abgestimmt auf die jeweiligen Figuren - säbelbeinige, hartgesottene Oklahoma-Boys, einen Yuppi-Anwalt, der sich mit Punks umgibt, oder den ehemaligen Präsidenten Johnson und sein e Gattin Lady Bird, die aus der Sicht eines schwulen Mitarbeiters dargestellt werden. David Foster Wallace ist beim Schreiben unglaublich risikofreudig und kennt - sehr zum Vergnügen des Lesers - absolut keine Berührungsängste. 373 pp. Englisch. Codice articolo 9780349111025
