Paperback. Etat : New. The 'supposedly fun thing' David Foster Wallace took part in was a luxury seven-night Caribbean cruise, during which his growing awareness of the consumption and consumerism that surrounded him led to a sense of despair. In these seven essays he recalls that voyage as well as experiences including touring the set of David Lynch's Lost Highway, creating a collection that has been considered one of the greatest non-fiction publications.
