"Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a sick sense of humor? What is John Updike's deal, anyway? And who won the Adult Video News Female Performer of the Year Award the same year Gwyneth Paltrow won her Oscar? David Foster Wallace answers these questions and more in his new book of hilarious nonfiction." I enclose a copy of David Levine's caricature of DFW circa '96 leaning over a humongous Infinite Jest copy.
