Synopsis
In this collection of essays, Wallace describes his various excursions into normal life--a Caribbean cruise, the Illinois State Fair--in comic terms. This book also includes several pieces on more intellectual subjects, such as the films of David Lynch, the relationship of television and irony to American fiction, post-structuralist literary theory, and, above all, tennis.

Publisher's Note
This exuberantly praised--and uproariously funny--first collection of nonfiction pieces by one of the most acclaimed and adventurous writers of our time--the author of "Infinite Jest"--"reconfirms Mr. Wallace's stature as one of his generation's preeminent talents" ("New York Times").

Industry reviews
"He has a way of making you see the mundane things you've seen a thousand times before from a slightly different angle....Indeed the ordinary becomes slightly surreal in these pieces, much the way it does in Mr. Wallace's fiction....this volume not only reconfirms Mr. Wallace's stature as one of his generation's pre-eminent talents, but it also attests to his virtuosity, an aptitude for the essay, profile and travelogue, equal to the gifts he has already begun to demonstrate in the realm of fiction."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (02/04/1997)

"The title essay, about a seven-night Caribbean cruise, is worth the price of the book."
New York Observer - Adam Begley 

"His instinct for the colloquial puts his masters Pynchon and DeLillo to shame, and the humane sobriety that he brings to his subjects--fictional or factual--should serve as a model to anyone writing cultural comment..."
Lehmann-Haupt 

"...sometimes tiresome but often truly rewarding....Wallace writes with an intensity that transforms rambling reportage into a sui generis mode of weird philosophizing."
Faggen 

"The funniest writer of his generation."
Grimond
