Halbleinen. Condition: neuwertig. Erste Aufl. / Lizenzausgabe. Fadengehefteter illustrierter Halbleineneinband mit geprägtem Rücken- und Deckeltitel bzw. geprägtem Deckeltext, illustrierten Vorsätzen, Lesebändchen und farbigem Heftfaden in sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand. Gesetzt aus der Arnhem und vierfarbig gedruckt auf das Papier Schleipen Fly 05 aus nachhaltiger Forstwirtschaft. "?Wird man beim Schnorcheln nass??, ?Findet das Tontaubenschießen im Freien statt?? und ?Wann wird das Midnight-Buffet eröffnet?? Solche Fragen und andere Kuriositäten hat David Foster Wallace auf einer Luxus-Kreuzfahrt in der Karibik gesammelt. Gestartet ist dieses Experiment im Auftrag von Harper?s Magazine in Key West. Wallace? Fazit nach einer Woche auf der ?Zenith?: Danke, aber nein danke! Die absurden Erlebnisse an Bord (z.B. Ententanz von 500 amerikanischen Leistungsträgern, die Angst vor der Bordtoilette oder Singlepartys für Paare) waren die ideale Vorlage für Wallace? ironische Schreibweise, die auch in dieser literarischen Reportage den Ton angibt. Eine schrecklich amüsante Vorbereitung für alle, die eine Kreuzfahrt planen. Und eine bestätigende Lektüre für jene, die nie auf eine solche Idee kämen. ?Ein Meisterstück der literarischen Reportage, bis ins kleinste nautische und gruppenpsychologische Detail recherchiert.? ? FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG" (Verlagstext) David Foster Wallace (* 21. Februar 1962 in Ithaca, New York; ? 12. September 2008 in Claremont, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Hochschullehrer. Bekannt wurde er durch seinen 1996 veröffentlichten Roman Infinite Jest (Unendlicher Spaß). Das Magazin Time zählt das Werk zu den wichtigsten englischsprachigen Romanen, die zwischen 1923 und 2005 erschienen sind. Wallace? Leben war vom Kampf gegen seine schwere Depression und seine Alkoholabhängigkeit gekennzeichnet. Er nahm sich im Alter von 46 Jahren während einer schweren depressiven Episode das Leben. David Ulin, Literaturkritiker der Los Angeles Times, nannte Wallace in einem Artikel nach dessen Suizid ?einen der einflussreichsten und innovativsten Schriftsteller der letzten 20 Jahre.? Andreas Borcholte charakterisierte in einem Nachruf für den Spiegel Wallaces Romane, Erzählungen und Essays als das intellektuell und künstlerisch Verwegenste, was die moderne amerikanische Literatur in den vergangenen Jahren hervorgebracht habe. Zum literarischen Nachlass von Wallace zählt ein nicht vollendeter Roman, der 2011 unter dem Titel The Pale King (deutscher Titel: Der bleiche König) erschien. Das Buch war 2012 für den Pulitzer-Preis nominiert. Die Jury konnte sich allerdings nicht auf einen der drei Finalisten einigen, sodass der Preis 2012 nicht vergeben wurde.
