Product info
<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>Girl with Curious Hair</em> is replete with David Foster Wallace's remarkable and unsettling reimaginations of reality. From the eerily real, almost holographic evocations of historical figures like Lyndon Johnson and overtelevised game-show hosts and late-night comedians to the title story, where terminal punk nihilism meets Young Republicanism, Wallace renders the incredible comprehensible, the bizarre normal, the absurd hilarious, the familiar strange.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>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"<br><br>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"<br><br>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"<br>
