Girl with Curious Hair: Storiesby David Foster Wallace
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This collection could possibly represent the first flowering of post-postmoderism: visions of the world that re-imagine reality as more realistic than we can imagine. A compelling presence of a holograph and the up-to-the-second feeling of the most advanced art. Review:"In assessing this book, comparisons with Don DeLillo, Tom Robbins, and Robert Coover seem accurate, for Wallace is playful, idiomatically sharp, and intellectually engage....Impressive in scope and savvy." Peter Bricklebank, Library Journal Review:"Turns the short story upside down and inside out, making the adjectives 'inventive,' 'unique,' and 'original' seem blasé. T. Coraghessan Boyle Review:"A dynamic writer of extraordinary talent — Mr. Wallace brings us, time and again, to hidden, mythic places that are strange yet oddly familiar. He succeeds in restoring grandeur to modern fiction." Jennifer Levin, New York Times Book Review Review:"A collection of stories as varied in length and theme as they are imaginative, and downright bizarre as any collection by one author has a right to be....Truly funny surreal humor." Benedict Cosgrove, San Francisco Chronicle Review:"These stories say something serious and sincere about the world that the rest of us have to live in." Madison Smartt Bell, Washington Post Book World Table of ContentsLittle expressionless animals — Luckily the account representative knew CPR — Girl with curious hair — Lyndon — John Billy — Here and there — My appearance — Say never — Everything is green — Westward the empire takes its way.
