A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments
A Little, Brown paperback of David Foster Wallace's 1997 essay collection, covering tennis, television, the Illinois State Fair, and a Caribbean cruise. The title essay remains one of the great accounts of enforced leisure. Wallace's footnotes function as a second nervous system. The Little, Brown cover is clean and serious, the kind of design that lets the author's name do the marketing. Little, Brown reprinted it in paperback after the hardcover established Wallace as a nonfiction writer equal to his fiction. Ideal reader: the reader who thinks the most honest American writing happens when someone is slightly out of place, or the vacationer already dreading the return trip.
