About the author

David Foster Wallace

American writer whose essays in Consider the Lobster and A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again are among the finest nonfiction of their era, combining erudition, self-consciousness, and moral seriousness. His Kenyon College commencement address 'This Is Water' became a cultural touchstone. He hanged himself at 46.
