David F. Wallace

    David Foster Wallace apporta des tournants surprenants à presque tout ce qu'il a touché : romans, journalisme, vacances. Sa vie fut une chasse à l'information, recueillant les comment et les pourquoi. Il voulait écrire "des choses sur ce que l'on ressent en vivant. Au lieu d'être un soulagement de ce que l'on ressent en vivant." Les lecteurs se blottissaient dans les recoins et les clairières de son style : sa comédie, sa brillance, son humanité. Ses œuvres offrent une sensation unique de ce que signifie être vivant dans le monde contemporain.
