Oblivion

Oblivion
By:David Foster Wallace
Published on 2004-06-08 by Little, Brown

In the stories that make up Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness--a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown (|The Soul Is Not a Smithy|). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way (|The Suffering Channel|). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring (|Oblivion|). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.
