The Legacy o David Foster Wallace

is a neces-sary book—it will nd a place in virtuallyevery university and college library across the land. Surely it will be among the rstcritical works consulted by any scholar or student venturing into the work o Wallaceand will interest the more ordinary, i un-usually ambitious, reader as well.”—Mark McGurl, author,

The Program Era

“This is a collection whose character is aith-ul to the spirit o Wallace’s work: consider-ate, intelligent, unny, even sel-deprecat-ing—an excellent addition to both the an’sand the critic’s library.”—Lydia Millet, Pulitzer Prize nalist or
