Oblivion

di Foster Wallace David (Autore)

Robert Petkoff (Narratore)

Little, Brown & Company, 2012

In the stories that make up Oblivion**, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness — a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his.** These are worlds undreamt of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father’s desperate loneliness by way of his son’s daydreaming through a teacher’s homicidal breakdown (“The Soul Is Not a Smithy”). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way (“The Suffering Channel”). Or capture the ache of love’s breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring (“Oblivion”). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate. **“Stunning…Wallace is an astonishing storyteller whose fiction reminds us why we learned to read in the first place.” —**San Francisco Chronicle
