Something to Do with Paying Attention (McNally Editions)

Description: Something to Do with Paying Attention (McNally Editions) [Paperback] Wallace, David Foster and McNally, Sarah Product Overview David Foster Wallace’s last unfinished work, a wise and unexpected tour de force “using the IRS the way Borges used the lipary and Kafka used the law- courts building: as an analogy for the world.” —John Jeremiah Sullivan, GQWhen David Foster Wallace died in 2008, he left behind a vast unfinished novel—some 1,100 pages of loose chapters, sketches, notes, and fragments. This material was collated and published in 2011 as The Pale King, which became a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.But the unfinished King did contain a finished novella that Wallace had already considered publishing as a stand-alone volume. It is the story of a young man, a self-described “wastoid,” adrift in the suburban Midwest of the 1970s, whose life is changed forever by an encounter with advanced tax law. It is, as Sarah McNally writes in her preface, “not just a complete story, but the best complete example we have of Wallace’s late style, where calm and poise replace the pyrotechnics of Infinite Jest and other early works.” Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ McNally Editions; Paperback Original edition (April 5, 2022) Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 152 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1946022276 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 71 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 2.31 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 4 x 0.5 x 6.19 inches Best Sellers Rank: #94,986 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #988 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) #1,062 in Fiction Satire #6,897 in Literary Fiction (Books) #988 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) #1,062 in Fiction Satire Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
