Written by David Foster Wallace
Format(s): EPUB MOBI
Language: English
David Foster Wallace is every other writer\'s nightmare; not only is he depressingly young (34), superbly prolific (six books so far) and notably gifted (at least three major literary prizes to date), he\'s also good-looking and, so they say, charming. Now this Midwestern wunderkind has added to his ever-growing reputation by bringing out a short-story collection which, while it has its flaws (too intellectual in places, somewhat over-written in others), is still a few streets ahead of the competition in its versatility, panache and verbal ebullience.
The varying length of the stories in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men indicate the range of Wallace\'s writing. Some, like the funny/dark \"Death Is Not The End\", about a gifted American writer (ha) lounging by his pool in suspended space-time, are no more than two pages long. Others are just paragraphs. By contrast, the title story is a 100-page-long suite of \"conversations\" with a series of repellent yet pitiable men given to lyrically reminiscing about \"the sort of glorious girl whose kiss tastes of liquor when she\'s had no liquor to drink\". The pay-off is that this girl might have been raped and murdered by one of the \"hideous men\" in question.
Wallace\'s prose-style is as various as the length, tone and subject matter. Sometime he\'s like Will Self in his wordy self-confidence. Other times he\'s as coarsely comedic as Irvine Welsh (\"the rawness and tenderness and spanked pink head of his thingie\"). Still other times, like in the deft and amusing parody of dictionary-speak, Datum Centurio, the only possible comparison is with a talkative James Joyce after two bottles of champagne.
