This took me two yesrd to read in full. Man can David Foster Wallace write, and can be funny, and churn out sentences so long so you get vetigo looking at their length on the page and have to cower at their syntactical gymnastics, but why did he spend five full pages explaing how bracketing works in tennis tournements?

The prize of this collection of essays is the short story about cruise ships. I've never wanted to go on a cruise and this seals the deal. Hilarious.

2 main takeaways - 1) good god, david foster wallace is so freaking smart 2) what a lovely diversity of short story topics, from tennis to literary theory to cruise ships and more
