Ваша оценкаIn this exuberantly praised book — a collection of seven pieces on subjects ranging from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner — David Foster Wallace brings to nonfiction the same curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted readers of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest.

[Tennis Canada logo] - which obtrudes into your visual field as often as is possible here at the du Maurier Omnium - consists of the good old Canadian maple leaf with a tennis racquet for a stem. It’s stuff like that you want to point to when Canadians protest that they don’t understand why Americans make fun of them.
2125 - Аноним25 октября 2019 г.
The power-baseline game itself has been compared to Metal or Grunge. But what a top P.B.er really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion. It’s awesome, but brutally so, with a grinding, faceless quality about its power that renders that power curiously dull and empty.
