PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David Foster Wallace is the author of two novels; three story collections; and three nonfiction collections. He was the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and numerous other awards. He died in September 2008.
None of the cloudlessly sane and true things he had to say about life in 2005 are any less sane or true today...[ This is Water] reminds us of [Wallace's] strength and goodness and decency--the parts of him the terrible master [the mind] could never defeat, and never will. --New York Times Book Review Tom Bissel
