Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 145 pages. Published in 2012. Retrospective collection of essays. One of the best books on sports, not just tennis, ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The book remains available in innumerable subsequent printings. The First Edition is now rare. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in an elegant Deluxe Collector's Edition "Library of America Special Publication" format, David Foster Wallace's "String Theory: David Foster Wallace On Tennis". With an illuminating Introductory Essay by John Jeremiah Sullivan. An instant classic of American sportswriting from "the best mind of his generation" (A. O. Scott). "Here are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five 'tour-de-force' pieces written with a competitor's insight and a fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Brings his dazzling literary magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly genius of Roger Federer. Offers a wickedly witty dissection of Tracy Austin's memoir. Considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame. Resists the crush of commerce at the U. S. Open. Recalls his own career as a 'near-great' junior player" (Library of America). "Wallace's 'Federer' essay turned me into an avid tennis fan" (Lin-Manuel Miranda). Indeed, the only other collection of comparable literary brilliance in our time is Geoff Dyer's "The Last Days of Roger Federer And Other Endings" (2022), Dyer, another amateur tennis player, being the best writer on tennis of our time. "The best tennis writer of all time" (New York Times) on the greatest sport ever invented by Man. An absolute "must-have" title for David Foster Wallace collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: ALL other copies available online have serious flaws or are in innumerable subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine collectible copy.
