	Encyclopedia: David Foster Wallace
		Wallace's largest influence on U.S. fiction can be summarized as a very ambitious and multifaceted attempt to transcend the very prevalent contemporary mode of irony, which he presumably sees as a hindrance in making his art more authentic â” if not the actual relationships between human beings, themselves.
		Wallace's novels are sprawling and ambitious; they often meld writing in various modes, and incorporate jargon and vocabulary (sometimes quasi-invented) from a wide variety of fields.
		Void thus stared into, Wallace pulls back to plot the history of ∞-as-concept, which is largely one of apprehension and equivocationÂ—first feared (by the Greeks, who outlawed it along with zero and the negative numbers), then dismissed and fudged, and finally reimagined as a valid mathematical entity.

	United States of America v. Wilton David Wallace
		Wallace's final claims on appeal contend that he is entitled to a new trial due to certain comments made by the district court at an in-chambers conference after the jury began its deliberations.
		Wallace asserts that the court's comments alone were grounds for the judge to recuse himself and for appointment of new counsel.
		Wallace's prior conviction is virtually identical in nature to the offense charged here and required proof of the same material elements (both incidents involve physically abusing an inmate in violation of his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment).

		David Foster Wallace did not expect to be the Spring '96 literary posterboy.
		Wallace does not consider his book the same kind of media entertainment that he is critiquing.
		Not mistaken, however, was my conviction that Wallace, with his yarn of drug addicts and devotees, was engaged in a denouement of the human condition in a media-saturated, entertainment-mediated world.

	Amazon.com: Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity (Great Discoveries): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The task Wallace (author of the bestseller Infinite Jest and other fiction) has set himself is enormously challenging: without radically compromising the complexity of the philosophy, metaphysics, or mathematics that underlies the evolving concept of infinity, present the material to a lay audience in a manner that is entertaining.
		Wallace demands that his reader walk through the equations, study the graphs and charts, and relearn college-level concepts to follow along on the exploration.
		Wallace starts his good-humored and sympathetic tone from the beginning: His "Small But Necessary Foreword" begins, "Unfortunately, this is a Foreword you have to read." There are plenty of footnotes, but half of them are marked "IYI": "If You're Interested," as are many of the paragraphs in the main text (along with "Semi-IYI").

		WALLACE: Oh, yes, she would be right there, but then she went and sat in the rocking chair in the living room, because we played our little fljack game on the dining room table.
		WALLACE: And he’s the one I said was married to Annie, and that she was killed as she was crossing a street.

		Wallace has become the spokesman for a generation of writers raised not on literature but on television and academic theories (mostly French, in translation) of literature.
		Wallace is ready with a defense of writers from his own generation and their lousy writing: "It won't do for the literary establishment simply to complain that...
		If Wallace truly wants to be a great novelist, he might start by ditching the sterile word games and realizing that having your friends laugh at you is a small price to pay for being Dostoevski.

		A masterpiece of heart-stopping brevity, “Incarnations of Burned Children” concerns the frantic efforts of a mother and father to console their infant son who has been severely scalded from an overturned pot of boiling water on the stove.
		Wallace is nothing if not fearlessly ecumenical in his literary tastes and influences, at times blending elements of science fiction and fantasy with a kind of micromanaged naturalism.
		David Foster Wallace has long been a master at showing us the face of chaos.

	totalitarianism today: Does logos go the way of David Foster Wallace?
		Wallace's critique of commercial culture is unoriginal, yet comfortably so, as his aim includes empathy more than originality.
		I guess a big part of serious fiction's purpose is to give the reader, who like all of us is sort of marooned in her own skull, to give her imaginative access to other selves.
		For Wallace, who seems all too familiar with conclusions of modern electoral science, logical argument doesn't create a sense of solidarity, or even the lesser goal of understanding-- pathos does.

		Wallace's trademark, however, is an officious specificity, typical of the Grade A student overreaching: shifting levels of microscopic detail and self-reflection.
		In truth, Wallace is neither; he's just a writer who takes chances with his work and is apparently willing to accept the occasional failure along with his successes.
		Wallace weaves together several different narratives into what the reader expects to come together at some point, but instead the story just...ends.

	The Reading Experience: David Foster Wallace
		Wallace abandons his usual style and tells the tale in a single telegraphic and breathless paragraph, appropriate to the panic of the young mother and father who tend to their scalded infant.
		Wallace is frustrating at times, and I’m contending that here, in Oblivion, he frustrates by focusing so intently on the dark and stupid that he all but denies the existence of the human and magical.
		What Wallace is doing seems to me a further development of this kind of psychological realism, although he finds himself writing in an era when even human mental processes can't really be trusted as authentic, determined as they are by culture, by genetics, by forces beyond conscious human control.

	To Privatize or Not? - The New Republic debates the future of Social Security. By Bidisha Banerjee, Jesse Stanchak, and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A David Foster Wallace-esque story about a weeklong Caribbean cruise for which 1,000 aging fans paid $1,300-$3,000 answers that question.
		The article proposes an alternate thesis: that the electoral split reveals a deep political divide between those, like Abbas, who see "nation-building as the path to national liberation," and those for whom liberation is the first priority, with violence against Israel a necessary tactic.
		Though economists and reformist liberals are skeptical of the proposal, which accepts the formidable cost of health care, incentive programs like those Cutler advocates have radically improved quality of care in hospital trials across the country.

	Chron.com \| 'Oblivion' by David Foster Wallace
		Wallace glories in presenting the soul-deadening life of an inconsequential person and, in the process, revealing a gruesome secret this person successfully conceals.
		As one of Wallace's narrators says, "It's interesting if you think about it, how clumsy and laborious it seems to be to convey even the smallest thing." Yet the narrator, and, by association, Wallace, continue to do so, filling page upon page with sentences whose complexity and length would make Henry James blush.
		Wallace is either a genius, the virtuoso prose stylist of our postmodern age, or he's the smartest frat boy vulgarian you've ever encountered, who basically dresses up plots that might have been stolen from South Park with fancy-pants prose.

	Demand and the Appearance of Freedom: The 8Role of Corporate Media in David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest
		A televisual culture substantially different from the contemporary one (circa 1990) David Foster Wallace outlines in “E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction” subtends the narrative of his 1996 novel Infinite Jest.
		Although Wallace and his “Joe Briefcase” are aware of this irony, their presumed transcendently ironic perspective does not mitigate the effect of this association with the advertising agency’s perspective on the individual’s ability to generate individualized responses to the commercial.
		In the years since Wallace wrote “E Unibus Pluram,” the content of commercials indicates that advertising firms believe the average American consumer has awoken to the overdetermined nature of their ability to “choose.” Advertising firms have responded to this problem by employing a self-consciously unironic post-postmodern irony that extols authenticity as the highest of virtues.
