Description

David Foster Wallace's last unfinished work is a wise and unexpected tour de force that uses the IRS as an analogy for the world. The story follows a young man, a self-described "wastoid," who is adrift in the suburban Midwest of the 1970s, until his life is changed forever by an encounter with advanced tax law. This novella showcases Wallace's late style, where calm and poise replace the pyrotechnics of his earlier works. It is a complete story, yet also a masterful example of his unique blend of psychological insight and satire. Published in 2022, this paperback edition brings together the author's final, unfinished work, offering a unique glimpse into the mind of one of America's most innovative writers.
