Abstract

This is a detailed approach to the fiction of a pioneer in modernism's third wave. Understanding David Foster guides readers through thoughtful examinations of Wallace's novels The Broom of the System and Infinite Jest and first two short story collections, Girl with Curious Hair and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. In his readings of these works, Marshall Boswell affirms that Wallace (1962-2008), in his fiction, compels our attention for the singular excellence of his work and his ground-breaking effort to chart a fruitful and affirmative new direction for literary fiction.
