A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Ruminations

by David Foster Wallace

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Ruminations Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A new collection of stories from David Foster Wallace is occasion to celebrate. These stories — which have been prominently serialized in Harper's, Esquire, the Paris Review, and elsewhere — explore intensely immediate states of mind, with the attention to voice and the extraordinary creative daring that have won Wallace his reputation as one of the most talented fiction writer of his generation.

Among the stories are "The Depressed Person", a dazzling portrayal of a woman's mental state; "Adult World", which reveals a woman's agonized consideration of her confusing sexual relationship with her husband; and "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men", a dark, hilarious series of portraits of men whose fear of women renders them grotesque. Always challenging, always funny, and always unique — these stories will further Wallace's already substantial reputation.
