Review:
"...Wallace is as versatile as he is facile....One of our best young writers just keeps getting better."
Kirkus, 05/01/2004
Review:"Mr. Wallace tries to grapple with the infinite and the infinitesimal, the momentous and the marginal, describing what it's like to live inside the skin of one of his characters while conjuring up their day-to-day existence in the bizarre world of millennial America with his by now patented methods of looping, loopy digressions; manic asides; wide satiric cartoon brush strokes; and exactingly detailed, almost autistic descriptions of minutiae."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 06/01/2004

Oblivion: Stories (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780316919814) Wallace, David Foster Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Little, Brown Company, United States, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 246 x 162 mm. Brand New Book. In the stories that make up Oblivion," David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness--a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown ("The Soul Is Not a Smithy"). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way ("The Suffering Channel"). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring ("Oblivion"). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.
