Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace
A Crown paperback based on David Lipsky's five days on the road with David Foster Wallace during the Infinite Jest tour. The book is mostly transcript: Wallace on writing, fame, addiction, tennis, and dread. It is intimate, invasive, and inevitably partial. The Crown cover is simple and photographic, as if the publisher wanted the conversation to look casual even though it is anything but. Crown released it in paperback once the Wallace estate had settled enough to allow the transcripts out. Ideal reader: the Wallace reader who wants the voice without the filter of biography, or the journalist who wonders whether literary celebrity is a form of mutual captivity.
