Oblivion. Wallace D.F.

The outstanding master of form, David Foster Wallace was recognized as the most significant writer of his generation, and each new book only confirmed this status.

“oblivion” - the last collection of Wallace’s stories, the most difficult, the most provocative and unusual. Here, the student does not notice how the teacher at the board begins to go crazy, the employees of the prestigious magazine are trying to write a decent article about a fashionable artist who creates sculptures anatomically unthinkable way, and her husband tries to explain extremely politely that she may suffer from hallucinations. Against the backdrop of all these strange and often awkward situations, David Foster Wallace creates entire worlds worthy of multi -page novels, at the same time surrealistic and painfully real.
