A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again

In his book Everything and More: A Compact History of ∞, author David Foster Wallace takes you from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner. He writes with a curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted readers of his previous books.
